I've owned a .308 and .300 Win Mag for quite a few years so when I decided to buy a new hunting rifle 18 months ago I chose the Remington Alaskan Ti in .300 WSM. I wanted a lightweight, corrosion resistant, short action rifle capable of taking any animal in North America and beyond.
Given my experience with the excellent .300 Win Mag and the theoretical ballistics of the .300 WSM, it seemed like a good choice. I've never bought factory ammunition for any of my .30 caliber rifles and don't plan on starting now. The .300 WSM uses the same powder, same primers and same bullets as the .300 Win Mag so it was a good fit for me.
I like having choices in terms of calibers and from where I sit, the more the merrier. I could care less if the major manufactures stop making .300 WSM rifles and I could care less about the availability of factory ammunition. If I need/want another one I'll have one built or add a Krieger barrel to the action that I have now.
