What true advantages or disadvantages does 300 WSM have alongside 300 Win Mag? If someone already has 300 Win mags is there any valid reason to have a 300 WSM? If so why?
Specifically I have heard 300 Win mags burn out barrels at about the thousand round mark. Is this really true or is this only true within fine degreeso super sniper level of accuracy at long ranges?
Then I heard 300 WSM and SM calibers generally burn out barrels faster than 300 Win mags.
So what is true regarding barrel life for these calibers?
As far as practical hunting accuracy out to no greater than 600 yards does someone really need to worry about burning out barrels with either of these after a thousand rounds?
