im not saying the wsm's are the cream of the crop. as far as im concernd they are just difrent and thats good. i have tried the 270wsm. ive got the dies on my reloading bench and dont plan to give them up because i happen to like the caliber. but wasnt particularly fond of the rifle the caliber was chamberd in.
me im not magnum shooter. ive the magnum thing a try with the 300winnie, but to alot its no magnum. and to be honest it had quite alot of recoil for a rifle that weighed over 8lbs without scope on it.
thats the reason i went back to lighter rifle in the 3006. recoil compared to the heavy 300win woulkd be debatable on wether or not its less due to the rifle weigh almost 1lb less.. i actualy sited in the 3006 and punched out enough groups to burn up all 20rds i had on hand the last time out.
the 300win i bore sited at 25yds steped back to one hundred. fired two rds made scope adjustments. fired two more and it was dialed in. shot 3 more into decent group and i was ready for elk season and not wanting to touch the thing from the bench anymore. i even tried fitting alittle sand bag between the but and myshoulder but that just didnt work well.
maybe if i put in 50lbs or so in my older ages ill give her ago again. just right now its not my cupp of tea.
but with my270wsm exsperince id have to say the 300wsm may be calling my name but i cant say how ill like it or if it becomes my dream caliber.
then i see all these people downing calibers that are new and havent tried them just because theyre new is no reason to like or dislike them. you may be set in your ways other hunters might not.
let the hunters who have exsperince with the calibers give the best information. ill tell you i concider the wsm and win277 calibers about as close to identical as you can get. but i still like them both alot.
