Tim, thanks for the clarification... I was wondering whether I had completely lost my ability to comprehend the written word.
If there is any "magic" in the WSM case it's in the way it burns powder likely... however, I don't believe it's any "faster" because of its case shape than if it had been made longer and skinnier with equal capacity.
I just think the WSM case design lends itself to excellent accuracy for reasons unknown to me. That may have to do with the way it burns powder.
As to RL17, I'm pretty well convinced its absolutely ideal in the 300 WSM. However, looking over the other WSM load data (270, 325) the gains that the 300 WSM shows don't appear to be there... I guess time will tell.
Bottom line, for me, I like the 300 WSM for no reason more than the Kimber Montana it's housed in.
