Nothing wrong with either of these cratridges IMHO and game won't know the difference as stated previously. I think both have a place in the market and will be in demand for years to come.

RE: best short action round
skeeter- point well taken and I agree. But when you compare the 300 WSM and 300 WM up to 180 grains, they are comparable but the WSM has better ballistics. Lets go back to my deer load senario in the Winchester Ballistic Silvertips.....my 300WSM is @ traveling 3300fps....the 300 WM is traveling @ 2950 fps. Not really a big deal but could be a deciding factor for a guy like me that wants every edge possible.

Ruger is chambering the .338 Fed in the new Hawkeye. You might want to take a look at that.

I can see no reason that the 270 and 300 WSM would ever fall by the way side. There have been thousands already sold and in my area they are out selling all other cartridges. They deliver the same
me performance in a much shorter action. For me personally, the 308 is all I would ever need. I mean the 308 and the other cartridges based on its casing. The 338 Federal would be the perfect bigger rifle for me. That would just be for Moose and the big bears even though the 308 would probabbly also do it all.

I will be getting one of the Ruger hawkeye All-Weather models in .338 Federal soon...I think it will be perfect for me!
And...I don't know if Big Green is listening, but a Mountain Rifle in .338 Federal would be awesome!

sorry, I have to correct myself. The win Mag is going closer to 3250fps. Both good guns.
