[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1363150, member: 11960"] A 300 WSM from a 20" barrel would still out perform a 30-06 from a 24" barrel. If you're comfortable with the performance of a 30-06 at 1000 yards then I think you'd be happy with the performance of the short barreled 300 WSM. I've spent a lot of time working with magnum cases from short (20" and under) barrels and you'd be amazed by what they can accomplish. An 18" 338/375 ruger will send a 250gr bullet at 2700 fps +. I had an 18" barreled 300 RUM that would launch 168gr bullets at over 3200 fps. For a more extreme example, my 20" barreled 338/408 CT improved shoots a 300gr OTM at over 2800 fps, the same load goes 3180 fps from a 30" barrel. [/QUOTE]
