Imo of the wissums the 7MM makes the most sense to me but I can't see the advantage over the .280 Rem or the 7MM Mag.

I seriously doubt that we'll see the day that the 7MM Mags are obsolete and the wissums are the overwhelming dominant player in the shooting world. Thaty said it's a fine cartridge for big game.

I kind of think that without a near miracle, That the 7MM WSM is a dead horse. However the components will be around for a while. I may be wrong but where I live they just are not even in the stores to buy. Totally blitzed by the 300 and 270 WSM's. Other than that it should be a decent performer for those who like the 7's.
