Thought provoking indeed..........grin.

I also own a couple 300WSM's and it would very likely be my "if you had to own but just one gun/cartridge", answer.

Both the WSM's we've mentioned are very popular these days. Their demise is as assured as is our POTUS's "Stimulus Package" actually working. I see their sales becoming more brisk in the future, not less.

Both the 270WSM and 300WSM have found favor amongst many hunters/shooters, experienced and those less so. These "new" cartridges offer us more choices, whether really necessary or not, whether if fills a gap or niche or not. The general public gets dictated to enough with even more of the same on the way. Having and then making our own choices for our own reasons is a positive thing, no matter the reasoning or even the outcome. All a learning experience.

Great to have choices and so far.....no regrets.
