I also believe a lot of the rifles they were chambered in were too light for the average guy to be comfortable shooting. I was at Grice's the other day and there was a relatively large percentage of the used rifles chambered in 270WSM & 300WSM. Many of these were Kimbers Montana's.
I planned to get a 7SAUM early on, but Remington completely abandoned their own chamberings in a very short time and the Winchester versions didn't interest me.
I do keep my eye open for a good buy on one of the BDL SS's though.
Maybe it was more the Rifle brand than the cartridge.
This, plus a lot of talk about them not feeding well ! WSMs or SAUMs.
I wanted a 300 SAUM in CRF, but that was holy grail, and a 7 SAUM in 24" STS was next on my wish list.
Unfortunately the 7mm WSM came along and muddied the waters further with its shorter neck and even
larger longer body
Now that we have discussed this, I'm looking for some donors ...
I need a matched pair of PF 6.5 GAP -SAUMs, and a 7 SAUM as accurate as MDs was !
still like the idea of 300 SAUM CRF ~22"
