[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3078178, member: 84442"] I definitely wouldn't call the WSM dead as it has a pretty solid following. I really enjoy my 17HMR but windy days leave me wanting something with a bit more punch. As a TC Encore owner, I may end up getting a 17 Hornet barrel as a short/medium range varmint round. The WSM just never appealed to me due to cost of ammo and limited rifle selection. Being able to reload the 17 Hornet is a big plus when rimfire ammo gets scarce. I see 17 WSM on Ammoseek right now for $1-$1.40 per round while 17 Hornet centerfire ammo is generally under $1 per round and yields reloadable brass which you can use to make high quality reloads for around $0.30 per round. The WSM certainly packs a punch in a convenient package, but the tradeoff is higher ammo costs. [/QUOTE]
