.26 Nosler will match the 7mm WSM to 500, and beat it beyond. (140 'Match'/VLD)
6.5-300 Weatherby nearly duplicates the .26 Nosler, at least on paper, with 140 VLDs.

But, of course, you can skew the numbers any way you'd like by messing with the zero distance, just like Weatherby does to sell their cartridges (300 yd zeros).
