[QUOTE="Model70Man, post: 1200875, member: 2756"] I'm a huge WSM fan. The cartrdge is more efficient using less powder and doesn't need the longer barrel to achieve the same velocities or even better velocities than it's long action cousin. The WSM action length is shorter than the long action which in turn creates a lighter weight rifle. So you get a shorter and lighter rifle that does the same thing the long action rifle does. Also, the WSM's percieved recoil is less than the long action rifle due to the cartidge efficiency. Ammo will be a tad higher for the WSM. You will find that the WSM ammo will have more premium bullets than the long action calibers. So, if you want to plink, it may be better to go with the long action. If you reload, it really doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
