[QUOTE="QuietHunter, post: 7691, member: 808"] I agree with the short action magnum reasoning, but I have one thought to add. My 300 SAUM will shoot the 200 gr Accubond at the velocities you mentioned (and faster). I believe the 300 WSM should shoot them a bit faster than the 300 SAUM. However, shooting them fast and shooting them accurately seem to be two different beasts. With my rifle (always the qualifier) it shoots them more accurately at lower speeds. Of course with somebody like Chris Matthews building a gun you can be pretty sure it will have a tendency to be more accurate, but maybe with a bigger cartridge you will have a broader velocity range to play for accuracy. I am using my 300 SAUM as more of a learning tool to apply the knowledge gained here at ranges under 700 yards so it is great for that. [/QUOTE]
