[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1150205, member: 13110"] Brian, I was in the same boat as you and chose the 300wsm. I still have to send JGS my dummy round for the reamer but my mind is made up. The reasons I chose the 300wsm is 1) the velocity through quick loads is less than 50fps difference if you compare the normal H1000 load in a 300wm to the top loads with a 300wsm. 2) I talked to a guy that competes with one at 1000yds and he said the 300wsm is starting to take over because it is more accurate, brass life is phenomenal, and the barrel life is nearly 50% longer. 3) The recoil difference between those two loads on Quick Loads is about 15% less for the 300wsm. 4) I've never built one for myself so it's worth trying out. The dummy round I made up was with a 215 Berger at about 3.2" OAL to maximize the powder capacity. I'm only going with a 26" barrel. It's not going for super light weight but mine will be a #5 contour on a Remington action in a Manners EH1. I'm hoping for about 10lbs all up. That's light for me. [/QUOTE]
