I Like the 300win better myself. No real reason, just my fave gun is a 300win :chuckle: I like the 300wsm as well. But could not see buying one with already owning a 300win.

Both. it's not a matter of justifying either one. its a matter of WANT.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Which ever one you like. My son has a 300wsm and I handloaded a Nosler 200gr. Accunbond for it. I chronograph-ed it at an average of 2874fps. and getting 1.0" group at 100yds. Plenty of horsepower and accurate for hunting.
Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.

All I got to say is the 300 wm has been around along time and the 300 wsm is the same thing in a shorter version. I like them both. I have a 300 rum my wife shoots a 300 wm and my buddy shoots the 300 wsm they all put down game nicely. I don't know if the game feels any of them any more than the other plus all three shoot under an inch at 100 yards.

I went with the 300wsm because I wanted a light weight rifle. My Browning TI without a scope is 5 3/4 pounds. If peak performance was what I was after I would choose the 300WM over the 300WSM.
