[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1012492, member: 48559"] I've never used one, but I keep seeing mention of folks having feeding issues with some of the WSM cartridges. In a Savage, I think they switched to "controlled round feed" to deal with that. Personally I would stick with the 300WM and push feed. I just finished building my first DIY on a Savage action, and went with 280 Ackley. I get just a little less velocity than my old 7rem mag using the same bullet, and the PacNor barrel is shooting very well as it breaks in. If you are into doing the work yourself it is a fairly straightforward exercise and very satisfactory results. I used a Boyd's Tacticool stock, simple woodwork to fit and bed. [/QUOTE]
