[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1546274, member: 103996"] Huh well in the states it’s not too hard to find, obviously not near as common as 30-06 but most gun stores I’ve been in recently have at least had one option in 300 wsm, and the reason the wsm ammo is so expensive (at least what I’ve found) is because the only options for the caliber found in stores is the higher end ammo, like the Nosler box ammo with accubonds and such, even in 30-06 that stuff is like $40-$60 a box sometimes (like 75 Canadian) but the difference is that 30-06 has some super cheap ammo like Remington core Lokt and stuff like that for $18 a box. Maybe it’s because the people that get 300 wsm don’t get it because it’s cheap but because they want quality (short action with high performance in lightweight rifle, high powder burn efficiency due to the short fat design, etc) so the manufacturers figure that people shooting it don’t want to skimp. Also they’re not barrel burners, they have roughly the same barrel life as 300 win mag, which if you consider that a barrel burner then so be it, but to most in the long range crowd, it’s your average mild magnum for barrel life.
