[QUOTE="jflester, post: 490779, member: 31632"] [b]Re: WSM /WSSM vs. Mag.[/b] I bought my wife a 25 wssm. The 25.06 ballistically is a little stronger, but I don't think the game animals know the difference between 100 fps. It drops deer like lightning. I also have a 325 wsm. I suppose you could call them wildcats, and the brass is only from winchester except in the 300 wsm as it has gained some popularity. So there are other ammo manufactures that produce it. I reload both and both are accurate. My wife likes the 25 as its light/easy to handle and little recoil. The 325 bites at both ends. The BOSS system helps with the recoil. Standard cal. ammo will be more readily available, but I suppose if you are hunting in some remote area and you need to buy ammo (because you did not pack enough) or some other problem releived you of your ammo then finding these wsm and wssw cal. may present a problem. I like the 25 its been a real tack driver. In the 270 wsm ballistics did out perform the 270 but not by a whole bunch. I have the 270 and bumping up to the 270 wsm just did not gain me that much. If I needed or wanted new a 270 I would certainly consider the 270 wsm. Some how I don't think the wssms took off like Winchester had hoped. But those that are out there and I've seen a few in shops here and there, they can be real sweet shooters. Come to think of it I did see a 243 wssm in a local shop here in VA. If the price is right, I just might pick it up as a varmit rifle. Smokin!!!! little 243!!!!! [/QUOTE]
