Shooters Sporting Goods-woman who owns it tells me regularly, Salesman at Gander Mountain, Kingston NYhas sold more WSM than the 30-06 or 270, or so he says., have 3 friends that just purchsed three 300WSM's....two after Christmas, the other about a week ago. I purchased one 3 weeks ago myself.Just some first hand knowledge I personally was told and have seen. Not to mention all theOutdoor Channel programs. Many of the gun/hunting journals have all good things to say about these cartridges. Bass Pro Shops hunting show has supported these short mags calibers in all their gear discriptions before their hunts. the 300WSMand 325 WSM is usedalmost exclusively by their staff. Many other hunting showshave these popular WSM's on all the time. They are being bought and are very popular.
Can you explain to me the PRACTICAL advantage they have over the original line of Winchester Mags, and no, I'm not talking about gun weight, and other BS factors, tell me if they are better than the belted magnums.
