[QUOTE="britz, post: 267667, member: 7865"] It depends on what you want to do with your rifle. The WSM will last longer than the wm and certainly the RUM as far as barrel life. If you are using it strictly as a long range big game rifle that that point is imaterial. The WM is a tried and true vet, the WSM is a good choice for competition shooters because it is efficient with the 190 grain on down. The RUM is the best choice if you are thinking of using the heaviest bullets. I shoot a WSM. I would say that if you are not worried about barrel life and intend to shoot the heavier bullets, and have the long action, then you should pick between the WM and the RUM. Some say the wsm has less recoil. I question that because the WSM ususally is a little lighter than the wm. If memory serves right, then as far as brass quality goes, the wm has lapua available which is about as good as it gets. Norma makes brass for the WSM. And I believe the best available for the RUM is Nosler (unless you work from the parent case). [/QUOTE]
