Thread: 300 Win Mag or 300WSM?

I understand that there's nothing much in it balistically (that a deer would notice anyway) between the two calibres, and there would be a weight difference in the same model of rifle (in this example a Kimber Montana) with the Win Mag being heavier due to longer action length, but that aside anyone have a view on either calibre?

I'm not a reloader, so for the foreseeable its factory ammo for me. Looking around the shops and online, there is more choice and availability in Win Mag with the WSM being a less common cartridge, which lends me to favour the Win Mag.

I know action length is a factor, but that is something that I can get familiar with either way.

I guess my sticking point is if I'm not reloading my own rounds, is a WSM a more bespoke rifle best left to reloaders? Or is it simple a matter of bulk buying WSM rounds to avoid having to be on the search for more due to supply problems when i start running low.
