Reds got a good point--lighter can be better

I had an opportunity to buy a new rifle this year because of a sale--Ruger M77 mark II--I could have choosen any caliber that they make in that model and after researching I decided on the 7mm wsm---I like the theory behind the short mags and also after comparing the ballistics of the regular .300 and the .300wsm and the 7mm wsm--I choose the 7mm because according the federal ammo site--which has great methods of comparison for all caliber which it makes ammo for--the 7mm wsm actually had the same or better comparable energy and ballistics--of course this doesn't take into account re-loading but I've never reloaded so it wasn't a concern--good luck
