Anybody have any info or know where to get sales figures regarding the new Win Short Magnums, specifically the .270,7mm, and 300 WSM. Of the three, I'm looking for the sales leader and the one that can be expected to have the longest life of the three if things take a downturn. If no figures available I would still like to hear any consensus which anyone has noted among friends etcabout which seems to be the most popular.
Looking at the Win 1885 and its only available in those calibers . Been waiting forever for browning to reissue the same gun and in more standard calibers but may just take a chance on a winchester version in a WSM caliber. Thanks for any info.

Where I live its about a toss-up between the 300 and 270 WSM'S The 300 has a bit of the edge. This from talking to the local gun shops. My pick if I needed a Magnum rifle would be the 270 WSM hand down. The 7mm WSM is not selling worth beans around here.

Sales figures for either ammo or reloading dies might be the easiest way to find the answer.
Based only on what I've seen locally its the 300WSM followed closely by the 270WSM. I know of no one who has bought or even shot a 7mm WSM.

I am partial to the .30 calibers so I'd have to say the .300 WSM then the 7mm WSM.
Ofcourse 2 of the best TRUE short magnums are the 6.5 Remington Magnum and the .350 Remington Magnum

In my neck of the woods, it's the 270Wsm. After that, it's a toss-up between the 300WSM and the 7mm. There's a surprise since the three best selling calibers here are 270win, 300 win mag, and 7mm mag.
