5% more case capacity...? All that I can add that may help you to sort this out is when both those cartridges are compared to a 300RUM. The RUM has 18% more case capacity than the 300 Win Mag and 13% more than the 300 Weatherby. The possible difference in terminal effects of the 2........probably not so much. From there, I wish you luck......  .

Sam:Put the 300 WSM and the 300 Weatherby side by side....don't they remind you of Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwartzenegger in "Twins"?
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Ingwe, I'm saving the remnants of that keg for the 257 Roberts and plan on getting a stash of RL17 for the two little fattys.
H4350 is beyond tough to find.
Bob, yeah they're not too bad but I wouldn't enjoy shooting anything much more snorty.

If I don't get a deer by Thanksgiving, Bob is going back home for some whitetail action(we might just have to smoke a little alfalfa fatty buck).
Still want to get up to the Breaks again though, hopefully this weekend.

Me too, just not when they're muddy!
Back to the cartridge gack.
I bet the 300 Roy has a fair bit more of a thump to it than the WSM?

More thump on which end?
Believe it or not, I've never shot a .300 WSM..

I was thinking on the recoil end of things.
Hopefully we can meet up one of these days and do a little shooting. I'm sure you just can't wait to shoot such a fine cartridge!
Better hit the hay. Early road trip over to Absarokee in the morning.
Later.

Ingwe Ingwe: Of the 300 "magnums" it's the most user friendly of the bunch IMHO...a trait it shares with the 300H&H round,since they are very similar in charge weights and speed.It still recoils a fair amount but tolerably....good choice if you feel you need a fast 30 but want to dispense with 9 -10 pound rifles and/or the neck snapping recoil of the larger 30's.An 8 pound 300 WSM is manageable.

H4350 is beyond tough to find. Hey Sammer, was up at the range over the weekend. In the 300 WSM Kimber, 64.0 of Rl17 is giving 3,030-ish with various 180's. I think the 215M's might be the way to go. The rifle is getting more and more consistent and accurate as it gets more rounds down the tube, and can't help but think the Mag primers are helping. 180 Partitions with RL17 are going under and inch. This rifle is even starting to like 180 Accubonds, with one H4350 group going under 1/2".
