[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1552201, member: 16938"] I've shot about everything from 165s up to Berger 230s from a SAAMI chambered Short Action 300 WSM. As far as I'm concerned, with the appropriate powder and bullet choice, case capacity is a non issue. You can scratch that myth from the record of reality. The biggest factor is mag length and feeding. If you intend to single feed, it doesn't matter what bullet you use as long as you have room to eject a loaded round. If you want a repeater, I would choose a shorter nosed bullet like the 200 ELD-X, 200 Accubond, or the 230 Berger OTM with H4350, RL17, H4831SC, RL26, or 7828SSC. For a 20" barrel on a WSM, I doubt you could find a better combination than a 200 grain bullet at 2900+ fps with 62.5-63 grains of RL17. [/QUOTE]
