I love my .325, Im suprised that the 7mm hasn't caught on any better than it has. Im probably going to buy a .270wsm after Christmas.

The 270 WSM is likely the best deer round ever made!
I love mine!
My 300 WSM is a little overkill.

Can anyone actually prove that any WSM/WSSM/SAUM/whatever does a better job than a standard cartridge? I'm all about getting what you want, but is there anything that they can do that a 30/06 or a 7 Rem mag can't? I understand the shorter action/stiffer action explanations. I also would like to see how long they will last.

Don't know if it's proof or not,I've always been a die hard .270 fan but always wished I could get a .270 Weatherby just for those times when I knew I could possably have a chance at a really long range shot but the price of Weatherby brass and their guns was outta my reach. Out comes Winchester with my answer. I have shot 2 deer with my 270 wsm in the past with one shot kills I knew I couldn't have done with my standard 270 with out figuring evlavation and such. I've had the 300 and the 270 wsm's,in my mind the 270 wsm filled a hole no one else had and I hope will be around for a long time

"I have shot 2 deer with my 270 wsm in the past with one shot kills I knew I couldn't have done with my standard 270 with out figuring evlavation and such"
There's only about a 3" elevation difference between the 2 at 400 yards.
Confidence in a certain gun is one thing, but a 270 wsm won't do anything a 270 can't also do. A 200 fps advantage really isn't seen in the field.
FWIW- I've got both of them plus a 7wsm - just because I like lots of guns. Not because one is so much better than another.

I agree with ewc there is only a fraction of a difference between the two. With some very good hand loading I am confident the difference can be made up.
