Ideally, they would have all failed to leave the drawing board. As it is, the Ruger offerings look to be the most sensibly designed.
As for the 7mmWSM being stronger than the 7mm Rem Mag.; Horsedroppings! Only on paper, folks.
The demise of all the short mags would not be a reason for mourning IMO. If Winchester had spent the money on factory upgrades and product improvements, they might still be here. Instead, they spent the money on advertising and poorly done development. Then spent more addressing warranty issues and doing redesigns to fix engineering errors. They loaded ammo hot enough to blow the primers right out all too frequently in order to achieve the velocities they wanted to claim. Simultaneously they backed way off on the belted mag. pressures to show the short/fats in the best possible light. That the WSMs have been at all successful is a testiment to the effectiveness of advertising rather than the effectiveness of the cartridges. Phooey. Regards, Bill.

What, you mean they don't go faster from shorter barrells while burning less powder, produceing less recoil and being more accurate?:nest: Listen up boys I think Bill may have a rough idea of how things work. That said I suppose I could see a 270 WSM in a short action, short barrel, lightwieght gun. Not for me but O.K. for other people.:puke:
