[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 901209, member: 11717"] [b]Re: 300WSM questions[/b] I did shoot mine out of the SAKO short mag action. Did not spend a lot of time with the heavier bullets but pressure testing got me to 2930 fps with RL17 and 210 VLD's. The load IIRC, was 67 gr. The bullet was eated to just off the lands making it a single feed round. i did do some experimenting with mag length rounds and had to cut back the charge slightly and lost a little velocity, maybe 20 fps. This rifle did not shoot anything accurately so i can not comment on that. Only velocity potential. If i ever build another 300 WSM, it will be on a longer action and my primary bullets would probably be 215 Bergers which if seated to optimium case capacity would have a COAL of about 3.18 [/QUOTE]
