[QUOTE="Gene R., post: 1071605, member: 35256"] I don't personally have a 18" barreled wsm but I have a ABolt 270 wsm with 23" barrel. I use it for my walk around N. Central PA and out west mountain gun. Its pretty dam light already. I don't see the your return being enough to justify turning your gun into a loud fire breathing monster. Meaning that's a short distance to burn slower powders which work well in that round. So by the time you switch to faster powders I think you'll end up with a 260 win, 270 win or 280rem at best. All that being said I have Ruger RSI 270 with 16" barrel and I started out with my goto 270 loads. Yikes was it loud and a handful. I switched to faster powders and slower fps to make it pleasant and follow up shots possible. But its not a long range type gun I use it for hunting areas where shots are short and fast. Just my experience, Gene [/QUOTE]
