Some are definately better than others. On the good end . . the 270. On the bad end . . the 243.
The 270 and 7mm are both great choices for long range. Of those two,I would pick the 270 for its sectional density. --- SAWMAN
I could easily take this far into a digression but I agree with you. The WSSM’s never made a ton of sense to me, but the WSM’s did. I could see a use for most of the short mags. I’m biased against the .270’s of any make but like that the WSM in both .27” and .30” seem to still be holding on nicely. Pity the .325 is fading. Saw that as an extremely useful western hunting round but I think it was doomed when they made it a .32 and not a .33.
