It should run at least as fast

Barrel length is dependent on application but a 9 twist would be good for most higher b c bullets that you might use.
I think barrel length would account for about 20-25'/inch

10 twist will run clear up to 230 Bergers so its fine.
with 26" barrels and 215 Bergers the Max would run well around 2900-2950 and the SM at 3150-3200
same bolt face but Max is a rebated case and the SM is not

Anyone running the 300 max ?? Wandering how it's comparing to the wsm
Equal pressures and freebore, they will produce same speed. Case capacity is the same. The only reason for it to go faster is to be operating at a higher pressure.

@elkaholic could a .300wsm be rechambered to 300max by just reaming it out?
