. I know the 7mm WSM is not real popular but I think it is the best of the 7mm cartridges when you consider ballistics and the advantages of the short mag action.
I have had all 3 of the WSM's and the 7 is the best one in my opinion, shoots a heavier bullet then the 270 WSM just as fast, packs just a tad less energy at long range then the 300 wsm and recoils like a 270 WSM. What's not to like. FIrst deer I shot with one of these was an angled shot ...I blew its leg off on the opposing shoulder...Gosh was that adramatic kill. Should not have been so high in a tree. I too am plotting as well to get one of these
