[QUOTE="Scout1, post: 412228, member: 20689"] They are pretty much ballistic twins untill you go above the 190-200 grain class bullets. The 300WM is a belted magnum and is headspaced as such. The 300WSM has no belt and is headspaced off of the shoulder. Given the two choices I would opt for the WSM and stick with the 175 - 190 weight class bullets. I currently own a 300WSM built on a long action. I shoot the 175 Berger VLD and do quite well running a 12 twist 28" barrel. BTW, mine will shoot and stabilize a 210 just fine. [/QUOTE]
