RE: 300 Win Mag Or 300 WSM??
Well, like most everyone else said, the 300 Win has a slight ballistic edge over the WSM. But IMO, I'm not sure if a deer, elk, moose, etc would know the difference which one it was shot with. If I had to choose between the 2 today I would probably go for the WSM. Simply because of the shorter, lighter rifles it is chambered in - like the Browning Micro Hunter. Now if I already had a 300 Win Mag - I wouldn't go running to the gun shop to trade it in for a WSM. The 300 Win has been around a long time and has a great reputation. But I believe, in 15 or so years down the road, the WSM version will also be rated up there as one of the top game cartridges. Only time will tell.
