[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 415530, member: 5217"] Not trying to start anything but my opinion differs somewhat when comparing the two. I would not say the 300 WSM is more accurate, perhaps on a rifle to rifle basis. The 300 Win is still regarded a a very accurate round even out to 1000 despite it's stump of a neck. I have shot a couple of 300 wsm's in light rifles and they are pretty snappy in the recoil department I like light rifles as much as the next guy but a couple of pounds can make a difference ( sometimes large) when you have to make a long distance call and your heart is tripping the light fantastic because you have had to move quickly, in rough terrain to get set for what might be your only shot of the season. The 300 Win is also quite easy to head space on the shoulder with once fired brass. Brass life is subjective to the shooter in question. If I get 4 reloads on 300 Win brass before the pockets go I am happy and at that point I have done one shoulder bump and one to two trims. For me brass is a consumable item and one of the costs of my shooting pleasure. I do agree fully That the 300WSM is here to stay. Hype [/QUOTE]
