[QUOTE="liltank, post: 507356, member: 13275"] You'll want to be careful with long necking the WSM case. I tried doing that and ran into some problems. Now I will admit, I didn't know quite what I was doing when I tried this, but the problem I ran into was case volume verses powder selection. What I mean is that I ran into not being able to use a fast enough powder to give proper case volume and provide the right velocity I was looking for with the 208's. I couldn't cram enough slow powder to make it worth it. I was trying to achieve the 2950 range with RL17 and H4350. But when I tried to get the volume I wanted it would over pressure. Now granted at the time I was trying this I didn't realize you could seat them so deep. Having that knowledge now may make a difference. I may play with the WSM again some day, but right now if I go magnum again, it will be with the 300Win Mag, or the RUM. The idea of squirting a 208/210 grain bullet at 3200fps makes me feel funny inside!:rolleyes::D Tank [/QUOTE]
