[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 211545, member: 2261"] I shoot the 7WSM, but not the 7WM. If limited to a factory chamber and factory rifle, I'd go with the 7WM, as the added case capacity will allow you to get the most out of the heavy bullets 175 Sierra and 180 Berger, etc. If you can have a custom chamber cut, then I would go with a long throated 7 WSM built on a long action to maximize available capacity in that chambering (base to ogive of 2.441" or so). With the long-throat option you will not give up much, if any velocity to the 7WM (unless 3,000 fps+ with the Berger 180 is not fast enough for you, in which case the 7WM is your ticket to hapiness), and you'll get there burning less powder.
