.........It can be done all-right!.........But I don`t believe that Weatherby anytime soon, will market their own short mags based on their longer well-established cartridges. Doing so would conflict with their longer traditional Roy`s!!

...With what I already have, probably not! I don`t believe that we`ll ever see a Weatherby rifle with a barrel 20" or less,  chambered in their short mag.
 
That would go against their traditional grain.

It's a newfangled, modernized HACKSAW, for cutting down the size of cartridges.  A good hacksaw, a blowtorch and a three pound hammer and you can make metal look any way you want it...

The 300WSM is perhaps my favorite 30.cal,though I'll always grab a .284 over a 30.
 
I love the 7WSM and 7SHAMU as well. A 25WSM would be sweet...................

I'm simply not a 6.5 Slut and quit trying after a brace of 264Win's. The 7WSM smokes the whole outfit,but my 25cal afflictions are hardly secreted and 257Wby performance in a s/a do appeal.
 
Though I'll suffer with a trio of 25-284's...................

It is amazing how much better things appear after 24 Hrs. Right ED.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

You didn't give us anything to rebutt,....Butt.  Except your attitude....which was handled as nicely as we could manage it without turning our forum into a WWW wrestling match.  Go get a job at the Pentagon.   I'm sure you'll fit right in....Wink

I really miss the .300 H&H.  I have had (2) Pre-64, Model 70 Alaskan's and a Sporter made in the 1990's.  You can load to factory ammo standards or easily beat the .30 WSM ballistics without the high CUP. 
 
I guess that Winchester is only calibers up to the .338 WM.  No long or African calibers.  Of the new short mags, I believe also that the .270 WSM and .30 WSM are a real winners.  The .325 WSM is certainly getting the marketing hyperbole and seems to be catching on, despite only the 8mm jinx.
