[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 873009, member: 1521"] IMO, the WSM is by far the better design of the three. You put enough barrel steel around it's chamber, and you can run hotter loads than the other two, without destroying the brass. A little faster powder with the same fill. Less body taper, higher shoulder angles. Excellent reloading brass that will last longer. The WSM is also most efficient between them, producing lowest recoil, and lowest muzzle pressures for best bullet release. This, because more of the WSM's powder is burned in the chamber -instead of combining with bullet weight all the way down the barrel as a slug of unburned powder. Well, that slug burns across your boat tails(like a slap) just outside the muzzle, increasing muzzle pressure(fireball), and ES of course.. The WSM brass will need less sizing, so it won't be trimmed away at the same rate as the other two. It is just my opinion. But I see no value in comparing older cartridges based solely on capacity. This would lead you down a worse path than broader considerations. [/QUOTE]
