RE: best short action round
I have read that wsm advertised velocities are inflated. Any body chrono them ?
I also know that the Encore is not chambered in the WSM's, someting about pressures.The Ruger #1 also is not chambered in them for that reason.

RE: best short action round
If you want a lighter magnum gun weight, shorter action, and same velocity performance as the 300WMandalittle better velocity performancewith 150-165 grain bullets, buy a 300WSM.Most guys that shoot WSM's and WM's will tell you the short-fat cases increase their accuracy and performance. Read up on it, it's very interesting even if the tighter groups at longer distances with WSM'sdon't effect your style of hunting. I think WSM's are a great alternative to traditional magnums.

Looked at different tables and yes they are almost identicle in those projectiles, the 300WSM is alittle faster. Sorry if that bothers you.[
