    Don't over think it mate. The 300 wsm will kill anything with any combo of pill-powder you choose
    The key to the short magnums is that they all work well as a short barrel suppressed set up.
    I personally believe 20 inches is the happy length for all of them as it gives good retained velocity and makes it a nice compact shooter to carry.
    Something I have learnt over the years by spending too much $$$ is that it's not about the weight of your shooter and the speed it spits out a pill but more about riffe length and accuracy!
    The reason I put more emphasis on rifle length is that it's all aboout "perceived weight" than actual weight. What I mean by that is that a long rifle of the same weight will feal heavier than the same weight short rifle due to leverage in your hand or while carrying on uoyr shoulder.
    Accuracy should speak for itself. Any projectile placed in the right spot will do the job.

    Don't over think it just shoot it.
    More emphasis should be on how quickly you can wear out your boots!
