WSM's

urapigg
I have been reading some real good press re. the new WSM's. Has anyone out there got one, shot one, have any opinions on them. My son and I are in the market for new rifles next fall and are considering .300 win mags. I would really appreciate any and all comments on these new guns. Happy Holidays to all and thanks for your help.

    Basically the 300 WSM will be more accurate, efficient, better ballistics, and have less recoil and in a lighter gun than its longer 300 Win Mag sibling. i would definately choose it over the conventional magnums or standard calibers in its power class.

    My Son has a Browning .300 WSM.. I have a Savage 10 .300 WSM(switch barrel, have 'em all). So far only a couple deer and an antelope.

    The Savage is light and still isn't bad, recoil wise. I have a straighter stock in the mail. It'll kick even less then. We're keeping ours.

    I have one in Winchester Stainless Control Round Feed Pre64. It sticks just a bit going in if had been able to play with one first I would not have purchased that one. Recoil I can not feel the difference between the 300 WSM and the 300 Win Mag. Ammo you have a large selection with the 300 Win Mag For reloaders 300 Win mag Brass is more available than 300 WSM Brass. In short if I were to do it again I would purchase the 300 Win Mag.[8D]

    I do not have a WSM. I have a push feed 300 Win Mag that is fantastic! Shoots accurately, feeds well, and does not burn a bunch more powder for velocities that are beneficial (in the real world, not paper) only at distances beyond 400yds.

    Now really, how many guys (not on a range in weather you CHOOSE to go shooting in) would shoot at distances beyond 400 yds...in what mother nature gives you for weather? If it is a guided hunt...once you shoot their statistics show 'the DUDE got a shot'. Hit or miss.

    Stick with what you can practice with (a lot) at 400 yards and even in the bad weather - - -

    If you want a short action 300 mag I highly recommend one of ht e Lazzeroni Savage 16 LZ Patriots. The price is right and my rifle gives consistent three shot pattterns at 100 yds that fit under a dome. The recoil is not bad and the rifle is rugged. I like the detachable magazine too.

    muskox2000 is correct, of all the wsm's the lazzeroni patriot is the best (and the savage is a great rifle), IF you are willing to reload or pay much higher prices for ammunition. I personally dont reload much so i choose the winchester version.
