[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 35421, member: 306"] I've seen on some other site were some think the 300wsm is just a marketing think and some have no use for the wsm other like the round. I think it's a good round and also I'm not much into comparing one against the other. I remember when the 300 win mag came out and look at the following it has now back then wouldn't of given it one year on the market. I've got two 300wsm one is a custom the other a tikka T3 lite and that rifle give 1/2" groups for three shots at 100 yds the other 5 shoot groups in the .4's. Both mine like H-4350 near max loads and the best bullets so far has been the 165 gr the custom has a 1/12 twist 5r barrel and gets wby velocity and the T3 get 3061fps with a 165 gr it has a 1/11 twist. I think a 180 gr bullet would be about max for the 300wsm just not enought case capacity for me. I looked at the rem short but just didn't see the velocity being there. I've had some good luck with R-22 and 19 tried V-165 but didn't get good velocity same with 760. I tried mag and larger rifle primers but settle on large just couldn't get a good group with mag primers both mine likes alot of bullet jump. I load at the range so have more chance than most to play around with some things like I've got one case that's been fired 10 time use wilson dies and case has never been sized only trimmed once. I've heard some good things about other powders but don't have some in our area and I'm not going to burn out a barrel just testing all the powders. I also have a 30-338,300wby and 300 ultra mag. Well good luck. [/QUOTE]
