Im just wondering, could any of you more experienced hunters give an estimate as to how long it will be before the bullet becomes basically obsolete? Cause that will probably be when it becomes time to buy a new gun haha
I have notice the 7mm WSM is being dropped from the Short Mag lineup by several of the rifle manufacturers that used to offer it, and that is an indication of trouble down the road. That being said the 7WSM is probably the best short mag in the line up. If you dont shoot alot but are worried about availabilty I would buy a lee anniversary or challenger kit for around $90.00 and the lee 3 die collet die set and load your own rather that look sell the gun.
Depending on your magazine length and throat length the 7WSM can really perform with the right bullet/powder.
