[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2569198, member: 71221"] Playing around in Quickdesign and Quickload it looks like the WSM has a ~125fps advantage over the SAUM. But it would have to be run in a medium length or long action to seat the bullet above the neck/shoulder junction. I don’t know if I want to jump into the pool of limited receiver, bottom metal, stock options and I’m finding very few stocks that are inletted for a medium action. If I did the SAUM, I *should* be able to use the same bushing dies for the 6.5 SAUM and 300 SAUM provided I make the improved case dimensions the same (except the bore diameter of course). I can also set the 178 ELDX @ 2.965” and use either a 3” internal box or the Hawkins Hunter DBM. All advantages lean toward the SAUM for me but I like speed as long as it’s accurate and the WSM does have the advantage of ADG brass. Still pondering……..🧐 [/QUOTE]
