RE: new gun need advice
The barrel length in the Savage rifles TXHunter is considering are both 24" and that would give the edge to the WSM. My ballistics are based on the Federal ammo charts not Browning or Winchester. If TXHunter chooses the Winchester or Browning rifles I would agree the two would be equal with the 4,000 psi advantage of WSM being negated by the longer barrel of the Rem Mag.

If you are looking for a TX deer rifle, then none of the Magnums are needed. Look for a good 270-280-7MM-08-25-06 or 6.5x55. Most are available in the Ruger or Savage. IMO
