[QUOTE="Jonoton, post: 2713382, member: 100300"] For what it is worth, I see loaded 270, 7, and 300 WSM on store shelves far more often than SAUM. I bought Winchester silvertip for 29 a box at the height of pandemic panic, and saw more 300WSM than 308 in some stores at that time as well- and NO SAUM, not even a space for it. To the best of my understanding, while the WSM cartridges do leave more on the table when constrained to a short action, in a short action they are capable of higher velocity with a given bullet than anything else. That may have changed with the Sherman designs and exceptionally long bullets... But if chasing fps is your jam, I do think WSM is the way to go. Efficiency and unobtained potential are also important considerations. I do like my 7WSM, but for my needs it doesn't do anything a SAUM or even my new 7-08AI can't do. I think you will be very happy with your choice. [/QUOTE]
