[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 211528, member: 8843"] The old Rem mag does have a slight advantage with the heavier bullets due to the added capacity but it has that **** belted case , its also alot more common to see in stores ammo wise. The WSM does have a pretty good track record in long range target shooting with the heaver bullets like the 168 and 180gr Bergers both of wich will cleanly kill deer at 1000+yds. It has a great case desgine probably slightly better case and barrel life easier to reload with out that **** belted case. Ammo is not nearly as plentifull though. If it were me I'd choose the 7mmWSM simply due to the reloaders point of view , you can load some 160gr Nosler Accu-Bonds to 2900-3000 fps and kill everything in North America pretty well , (would probably choose otherwise on a big Grizz though) Load up the 180gr Bergers to 2900fps and it'll realy shine at the long ranges. build on a Long action though so that you can seat those spear like bullet way out with no troubles impeading on the powder.
