Here's a question. Since the allmighty .300winmag is such a great performer, and there isant a knats ass of difference between it and the .300WSM velocity wise, isant that a pretty good place to be?
It's kind of like comparing the .308 to the .30/06, only with closer ballistics.
it isn't so much the performance, its the fact that many people are downing the .300 Win Mag in favor of the new WSM, claiming that the Long Action .300 Win mag "sucks", and most of these people haven't even owned a .300 Win mag before, yet they are talking about all of the disadvantages of it, that gun magazines and the like, have come up with. I'd say Winchester has done a good job advertising, but, to say the .300 Win Mag is obsolete, is very stupid, to me. My point is, the .300 WSM does nothing better than the .300 Win Mag, and the .300 WSM does not make the .300 Win Mag obsolete.
