What WSM caliber would you build?

[220 Swift AI]

I have a savage short action 300wsm. If you were to pull the barrel what would you make it? Keep it 300wsm or change it to a different caliber. Also what parts would you use in the build.

I had a Winchester M70 in 300 wsm, it's now a 7wsm thanks to GAP.

Hunting keep it a .30 cal.
Long Range & steel go 7mm
.

I love the .375 WSM .308 ballistics with the Nos 260gr accubond if you choose that pill and you also can also run ai mags. Gives you better thump on feral pigs etc. than .308

Jump on the 6.5mm Rem SAUM bandwagon. Can't go wrong with that.

7 saum or 7 wsm - 180 VLD at near 3000 fps is a fantastic ballistic combination.

7mm-300wsm or 7mm-270wsm (same thing)

Thanks for the info guys. The wsm is a new cartridge to me first one I have ever owned.

7mm-300wsm or 7mm-270wsm (same thing)

^this, any of the 7mm short mags will kick ass.

7/270 WSM would be my choice but any delivery method that can send the 180 VLD or Hybrid between 2,800 to 3,100 ft/sec is cracking and hard to better without going big .

7 wsm with a 180 Berger over N560. 1:9 twist.

7wsm for hunting and steel. Had one in a lite weight hunting rig that was wicked!
