[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1570441, member: 2736"] Actually the first commercial short mags were the 350 Remington magnum and the 6.5 Remington magnum. They were first marketed in 1965 These were belted and performance was very good, however Remington built them on the wrong rifle format. (The 600 action). Then in 1975 the PPC became popular with the bench rest crowd. It wasn't until 2000 that the WSMs were introduced and Remington followed up with the SAUM in 2002. The WSSMs came shortly after (2003) In the right rifle and barreled action, they are great performers but like many other cartridges they can be problematic if pushed to hard . Just a little history of the short mags. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
