I did some reading in my handloading manual, I was supprised to see that the magnum case of the 300 WSM could duplacate 30-06 performance with less powder then the original in every bullet weight class. I know that 300 WSM brass would always be a tad more expensive to manufacture due to it's thick walls and sharp 35 degree shoulder, but for the handloader it seems to be a no brainer, and if there were a line of 06 power/recoil commercialy available it could steal the market there too. I had been told before that 06 level charges in the WSM were not accurate, but apperently the fine folks at Nosler do not agree with that, some of the most accurate loads listed were in the 06 power range.
I am fully expecting the short mag haters to bombard me with hate mail, just know that I used to be one of you, and cut my teeth on old belted mags, but after trying the WSMs for myself I was highly impressed.
