I have both the Weatherby and a WSM, the WSM is lucky to come within 200fps of the Weatherby in equal length barrels.


Yep, that is what my research has led me to as well. I do remember seeing a very misleading Winchester Ammo ad once that was comparing a 130 gr. WSM load to a WBY 140 gr. load and if I am not mistaken, the WBY was still slightly faster.
