RE: Will the 7mm WSM last?
Lucky. I think they will do very well. The 7mm Short Mags have to compete with the old 7mm Rem Mag plus the 280, 7x57, 7mm-08, 7mm STW, 7MM Weatherby and the 7MM Ultra Mag. The 300 WSM has a lot of competition as well but the 30 caliber has long been one of the most respected calbers by American shooters. And fo good Reason. They are very versitile. With bullets from 100 grains to 250 grains, it hard to find a job that they won't do.
