[QUOTE="Rotten, post: 3097744, member: 129641"] I don't have a whole lot of experience with the short mags only 1 so far 270 wsm. Had 2 long action mags 300 & 7mm Rem. For me I just had to much problems with the wsm For what is gained from it. 1-the brass would open up primer pockets after the 3rd firing. 2- Brass always had to be annealed for me to get the shoulder bumped back consistently .002 3- the brass was always harder to find and more money. 4- my rifle would some times jam if I loaded 3 rounds in the box magazine. Missed a cow elk because of it. I really do like my Kimber 8400 In 270wsm. light weight very good looking wood balanced excellent and didn't need a 26" barrel. But the older I get for hunting the 30-06,270 and the standard length cartridges are what I like more and more no fussing around. For target shooting I like the 25,260,7-08 but that's just me.
