Short mags

Is anyone here still using any of the short mag calibers that we're all the rage a few years ago. I have a Kimber in .300 WSM but I'm worried that unless I start reloading, I won't be able to find ammo in a few years.

Ammo won't die out for .300wsm or .270wsm. I have a .300wsm and find ammo everywhere.

Try to find some brass for that thing to reload if you dont have any. I have a 270 WSM and cant find any. Remington and Winchester quit supplying it. You have to buy Norma or Nosler.
Im thinking about selling it to get me a 7mm Rem Mag. Common calibers are better.

Also, KR is right. The short mags suck. I regret buying mine.

shouldn't be hard to fine.
.223 WSSM - that's a different story...

I bought mine to hunt clear cuts when the timber company cut the vast majority of our lease. It has been the death of many deer and even more hogs. I've really got no complaints, nothing has ever walked away after it's been hit. I'm not a target shooter or a ballistics guy, I am a hunter. I value kill shots over tack driving accuracy and the gun definitely kills. I'm just concerned about the availability of ammo in the future.

saintsfan1977,
I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that R-P and Win are currently not making 270 WSM brass. In recent times they've both started producing some of their less popular brass on a cyclical basis (sometimes every year or two). The fact it's not available now doesn't mean it won't be available later.
OTOH, there's a LOT of good to be said for Norma, Nosler and Lapua braass. I've never loaded Norma brass, but from what I've been told by experienced loaders, it's VERY high quality, just like Lapua. I check neck concentricity on my brass before loading it. My cull rate for R-P and Win is usually 10-20%. Lapua runs 1-2%; Nosler and Hornady about 5%. The recent 221 Fireball brass I bought from R-P can best be described as "sorry quality." Going forward, I'll buy only Lapua for the Fireball, not R-P. Do yourself a favor: buy some Norma or Nosler 270 WSM brass and enjoy it's superior quality.

Ammo not going away. The wsm is as popular today as it was years ago.
I have a 300 wsm and live it . Have worked up rounds for about 5 diff wsm rifles.

Yeah i've seen nothing to make me believe 270 and 300 shorts will be going anywhere. Now 7mm WSM looks like it's already hard to find.
Love my 270WSM

6.5wsm is the only one worth having and you have to reload.

Tell me about that .325 WSM?
Posted on 4/28/16 at 4:35 pm to White Bear
.325 is hard to find ammo for. .338 win mag does the same thing and costs less.
