first off we need new to keep going, either to show us that our old stuff is still plenty good enough to do the job. or as peice to take the olds place. the present turns into history as we speak. im so glad new calibers came along in the past. boy would it be boreing if they hadnt.
yes ive tried one of the wsm calibers. im a 270win freak so the obvious choice was to get the 270wsm. rifle was win featherweight with 24". i belive most all ammo manufacures when testing theyre ammo atleast in wsm calibers use the 24" as theyre test bed. the 24" tube is more or less the standerd when ammo is tested.
ill do search here in few and find out what manufactures use to test what calibers.
back to the topick. i think the wsm hav an advantage in the recoil dept and that dept only. i dont see any balistic improvements. anywhere. but recoil when compared to the 270wsm and 270win. the wsm is definatly less when pushing hot 140gr loads.
i cant say if this is true of its bigger 300wsm brother but its rumored to be.
i do still like the 270wsm and will have another someday in ruger 22" barrel rifle. i wont miss 2"s of steel. got rid of the last one because of the rifle not the caliber. plus i was lusting for a new rifle in a old caliber at the time.
i go from wanting the new fangled to finding the new fangled is just the same. man when will it ever end
