[QUOTE="ATH, post: 109956, member: 1656"] My understanding (and it is just that), is that with the WSM in a factory gun you will not be able to seat the heavier bullets out far enough to utilize full case capacity and still feed from the magazine. I seem to recall but am much less sure that a WSM won't eject well in a short action with 200gr bullets loaded to the lands...I read somewhere that it is not a true short-action round and can only reach its potential when put in a longer action. So if you're going factory, as I did, I decided it was not as good a choice as the WM. With my 300WM Sendero I can load to the lands with 200gr bullets and have a bit of room to spare in the magazine...surely I could do the same with 210s though I haven't yet. In a custom gun, I see few disadvantages to the WSM. Most sources I have seen maintain a slight velocity advantage for the WM, but where an individual gun hits best accuracy may or may not erase this. [/QUOTE]
