I am sure I am in the minority but I have no desire to ever own a WSM.. I honestly don' t see the point. The trajectory and energy is a little better but were not shooting at tanks. Deer can be killed with a 270 win just as easily. I think WSM were just a way to create a new market and make more money!! Which is fine, bit I am not contributing to it. The recoil will be higher in the WSM, ammo costs more andI dont see the point of a bullet that shoots a inch or 2 faltter at 400 yards or whatever it is. Just my opinion, yours is what counts
