[QUOTE="brentc, post: 991850, member: 16938"] The belt means nothing to me. I load for both. it really comes down to preference. Barrel length is key for a WM to perform. The WM is OK with 24", 26" is better, but it shines best with 28". For WSM, you can get away with a 22", 24" is better, but 26" with the WSM is a sweet package. Performance wise they are both comparable, but to get true 300 WM performance out of a WSM you have to run powders that some don't deem suitable for LRH, i.e. RL17. The "Extreme" powders won't get you there, they come up about 50-100 fps short of the big brother in the same barrel length. For example I'm able to run a 200 Accubond from a 26" 300 WSM at 3000 fps with RL17, and 2920 fps with 7828ssc. This is very comparable to what a 300 WM does with H1000 with the same barrel length and bullet. [/QUOTE]
