There has never been a horse that can't be rode, and a man that can't be throwed.

Nothing wrong with 300WM just really like 300WSM.
Opposite for me  :chuckle:

There are several 300 rifles in classified for sale. There is always 300s for sale.

There is a reason for that.  Just sayin. :sry:
What’s wrong with the 300? Serious question

Absolutely nothing, unless you just read yet another hunting/shooting article talking about the Magic Powers of the latest 6.5mm.  The 300 is a workhorse up to and including military sniper work.
I was going to say it’s performed well on the 5 big game animals I’ve ever taken with it.. i felt like the caliber is top of the line for my needs.

But do we REALLY feel recoil when hunting?
Absolutely never.

If I had to throw one of the 2 away. I would throw the 300wm away. Which I won't because I only have "2" guns. I reload for both, and I am sold on 300 wsm great round.

Do you think that data doesn't exist? It's not even close between the win mag and the shortmag
As far as what?  Recoil?  Ballistics?  Do you have a link to the data so I can see it.  From everything I can find they are very very similar.

It's really very simple. As I said before, more powder equals more velocity. The 300 Win. Mag. is a bigger case than the 300 WSM, and therefore holds more powder. So, that gives more velocity with the same weight bullet. Which also means more recoil.

It's exactly the same as comparing the 30/06 to the 300 Win. Mag. 30/06 has less powder capacity, therefore less velocity, and less recoil.

Squirrel is delicious. I've been known to cook one up from the backyard here and there.
