[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1732620, member: 74902"] My understanding is that Savage stopped chambering small shank actions in WSM because they had issues with the barrel swelling due to pressures caused by not having enough barrel steel around the WSM chamber. They only sold small shank WSMs for less than a year. The large shank leaves a little more barrel steel around the chamber after the barrel it cut and solves the issue. Don't think they ever had a small shank WSM blow up though. They also use large shanks on all actions that use 1" bull barrels, WSM or not. [/QUOTE]
