[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 246245, member: 307"] I have loaded and shot the .300WSM, but have never owned one. I have owned a couple of .300WinMags (I have a Savage 112 BVSS now). I prefer the .300WinMag, for no other reason than it was here first. Ballistic's wise, the WinMag has been doing this for 45yrs. Nothing new about this level of performance. (Yawn) Don't try to sell me a "better" mouse trap that does the same thing as my ole' mouse trap. For me barrel life is not an issue with a .300 Magnum. Not sure too many hunters or shooters will ever shoot their barrels out. I'm not much into short, handy, light rifles. I know some people like them and others need them because of their stature or physical limitations. This much power in too light of a rifle can be counter-productive to accuracy. Raw power should never be a substitute for proper bullet placement. The WinMag is capable of extremely fine accuracy (.2-.4") with plenty of different powders and a wide range of bullet weights. It seems the mid (4350-4831) to slow (RL22,7828,H1000) range of powders work well. "Finicky"? not that I've seen. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
