I love my 7mm WSM but we always get left out. Like the redheaded step children of the WSM family.
If I didn't have a 7 WSM and a 300 WSM I would probably get a 270 WSM. If I can get my wife back in to hunting I may have to look at one for her. At least that sounds like a good excuse.
I can't understand why the 7mm WSM struggles to find a following when it's the best of the WSM's. I have had three 7mm WSM rifles and liked them all but it's getting harder and harder to find brass. You can just about count on having to order loaded ammo these days. It's a superb performer so it makes no sense to me why it's the redheaded stepchild of the family.
Davinjax and others, you're right and I should have mentioned I was looking at the 7mm WSM mag too. Like the 270 W, I just couldn't find much of a downside and decision anxiety/lack of funds stopped me.
Bitterroot makes a good point on the 7mm RM at longer yardages but I wasn't expecting a <6 pound gun to perform at those ranges. Just me, I shoot most deer pretty close. Good discussion and I can feel the anxiety starting again!
Also, Dave, you might see a sentence that I edited your post- not! I accidentally hit the Edit button available to admin, so it makes it look changed but all is same on your end. Sorry
