[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 186885, member: 10214"] The WSM is not a better cartridge ballistically than the 300 WM, however there are some advantages. The WSM can utilize a short action, uses less powder to get simular velocities. The WSM is not belted (some don't mind the belt), some are experiencing better barrel life, slightly less recoil, you can cut down a barrel on a WSM without having as much loss in velocity compared with the standard mag. Although the 300WM has an advantage ballistically (particularly with heavier projectiles) I'd still go for the WSM personally. If you plan on extended target shooting sessions a heavy barrel can be a real asset. If you plan on packing in long distances on foot you may want the sporter contour or use a WSM and cut a heavy barrel down. You could cut the barrel down on a standard mag, but you'll be wasting that much more powder. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
