One, my 7wsm Kimber. The guys in my camp have probably no idea what a wsm is or care. Mostly 270's, with a 3006, 260, 243, and a 300 Savage thrown in for good measure.

I kinda like that! It's about how close you can stalk, not how far you can shoot....

Technically it started as a wsm, CZ model 3 300wsm, but was never fired as a wsm, had it immediately rebarreled to a 450 marlin, 350grRN tip deer over pretty easy.

Didn't do a deer camp. In elk camp, 2/4 were WSM's- me with my .325 Browning BLR, which I carried every day as it turned out, and Paul with his 300 WSM, with which he took apart a raghorn 2 seasons ago...
I predict an all-wizzum, all-the-time channel on cable, soon enough. Get on board. Lead, follow, or get out of the way ya'll! If you are not part of the WSM solution, then you are part of the problem. Remain calm. Do not fear the assimilation. Etc.

None of the fellows I hunt with use them.
I took a Kimber in 270WSM on trade this year and sold it w/o trying it out. Nice rifle, but I can't get close to the new calibers. I prefer my 257Roberts and 30/06.

0 and nobody plans on getting one either. For me the only short mag needed is the original .350 RM

11 out of the 12 that show up every year in PA, the cartridges used were:
243 x 3
30-06 x 3
30-30 x 2
303Brit x 1
270WSM x 1
243 WSSM x 1
They seem to be making some progress...
