[QUOTE="Txcowboy50, post: 3098226, member: 118571"] I have a 300 wsm and it is a ballistic twin to 300 wm with factory ammo. The advantage, of the sort mag is 10 gr less powder and slightly less recoil. If you hand load I see and advantage to the long action mags in that you can shoot the heavier , higher BC bullets and not as limited to length of your magazine plus about 50 fps faster. I am shooting 190 gr Bergers at 2900 and 205 Bergers at 2850 with H4350 both >1/2 moa in a short action. That good enough for me and for most big game in North America. I can swap the 300 wsm barrel with my 6.5 PRC barrel and I am good for goat and deer. [/QUOTE]
