You are comparing an old classic to a new classic. Either is a great foundational cartridge to anchor your hunting arsenal.
In short, the WSM uses a little more powder and gives you a little more velocity. the 06 typically give you room for an extra round in the magazine.
Either one with a 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tip would make a good all around North American slayer.
Antelope_sniper,
I do not agree that the 300 WSM has made it into the ranks of a "classic". Shall we wait another 40 years before making that assertion?
