I enjoy the reloading as does my son. Will a normal savage model 10 or other short action work for a wsm cartridge ?

Yes but if you want a factory barrel you will have to find an older small shank.

I was planning on getting an aftermarket barrel from one of the vendors on the site.

Does anybody know of a factory short action rifle already chambered in 300wsm?

Not sure exactly what you are asking? In general or specific? The Savage 110 in WSM calibers are Large Shank & 4.4” screw spacing.

Yes, at least there was, i bought an all stainless model 116 in 300 WSM which i intended to use for a barrel swap for changing the 6.5 x300 WSM barrel from a model 11 to the 116 because of the magazine issues i was having even after buying the right new parts for the model 11.
But apparently the gun was built on a Wednesday, and thats the day they built them for long shank. I guess other days they built them short shank.
So i couldnt make the swap over for that reason.
And i didnt know anybody who could fix any magazine in 5 minits with a rusty pair of pliers.
So i resold the model 116 with the long shank, and later i sold the model 11 with the short shank also, after i found a guy with the right pliers to fix it.
