[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 880471, member: 39801"] Here is my opinion: I have a factory 300WSM and 3000fps with a 210 would not be comfortable for me. By a pretty wide margin. As far as going with a long throat, remember that the 300WSM is short necked - you will get some benefit this way but maybe not as much as you think. If you look at published load data, 3000fps is going to be above what most publish by a fair margin. Even going 28" may not get you there comfortably. If 3Kfps is your goal, my opinion is to go with a cartridge that will get you there more easily (ie not totally redlined). That will give you more flexibility to get the accuracy you want. OR- get a WSM, "settle" on lower velocity with great accuracy, and I would bet you can still get it to do what you want in a practical sense - you'll never miss that 100fps... [/QUOTE]
