[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2103885, member: 68758"] Probably, because this is what our "common sense" tells us. I don't know of anyone that shoots .300 WSM in benchrest competition, so if there is such a someone, they would be the one to ask. I just completed a .300 WSM build. Planned on throating the SAAMI chamber deeper, but decided to stick with SAAMI after reading this and because it was preferable for the rifle to be able to shoot factory ammunition if the need arose. After all, isn't that what we're supposed to do, to seat the bullet out in order to get maximum case capacity, which (supposedly) equals increased velocities? Serious testing (strain gauges, Oehler lab-grade chrono) largely said "N/A" for this chambering. My bottom line has always been this- what does the target say? Quoting the essential line of the article, [B][I]Theories and logical reasoning sometimes go down the drain when you actually pull the trigger and record the results.[/I][/B] This, is what matters- and nothing else. I found it interesting, so wanted to share the info for others interested in the short mag. [/QUOTE]
