I always felt 160-180 was the sweet spot on WSM’s especially if mag feeding. I had a friend that was running them on a single shot with 200gr. Berger’s and had great accuracy, just not a lot of practicality for hunting.
That being said, you can run whatever you want and 200+ gr. Would be great medicine if on a hunt and you were worried about running into grizzlys or something. But your long range energy might suffer compared to a 165 gr. load that starts a few hundred fps faster.
It’s all a compromise.
Personally, I’ve always wanted to see if I could get those 110 gr. ttsx bullets to 4K in my WSM... (not going to try, just a pipe dream)
