[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 72069"] Gonehuntingagain is right about the bullet weight. Once you get over 180 grains the case capacity of the 300 wm will beat out the wsm. I have a WSM and it performs really good, I like the 168 grain Berger's though in it and groups size as well as 500 yard trajectory is par with the 190 Berger's. Beyond the 500 yard mark is where the 190's come into play. I think that the case capacity of the wsm suggests that anything over 180 may net you diminishing returns provided barrel length is at factory specs. I would pick the wsm myself as it is non-belted, and has a short powder column, headspace is taken off a datum on the shoulder and not a belt. According to a lot of folks and myself included it should be more inherently accurate because of these traits. JM2C Dave [/QUOTE]
