[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1321241, member: 78762"] Being the WSM is shorter, you are technically only losing about 3" of barrel when you think about how much the cartridge length protrudes into the barrel. With that said, when you are talking about hunting ranges including long range hunting. I doubt you are you going to notice much difference in terminal performance out to 1000ish yards. Extreme range target shooting is where I worry about a few hundred FPS keeping the bullet super sonic as long as possible. More power is better, but sometimes more power is not needed for the intended purpose. [/QUOTE]
