My re-barreled & accurized Kimber Montana in .300 WSM weighs 6 lbs, 3 oz. (without a scope) and shoots Federal factory ammo with 180 gn Barnes TSX slugs into 3-shot 1/2" groups at 100 yds with an average muzzle velocity of 3150 fps.
IMHO, the WSMs are not about the cartridge but about the short-action rifle that shoots it.
--shinbone ...........Shin..........At 3150 fps with a 180 gr Barnes, I assume you have a 26" barrel? You either have a faster bore in that Kimber or that factory ammo is just a wee bit on the hot side; maybe both? Maybe Federal is now using the RL 17. Agree with you! The 300 WSM is more about the rifle rather than the cartridge.
