My interest in the 17 WSM has recently been piqued, so off we went to cabelas to put eyes and mitts on one. When I asked, he tells me they don't carry any...the cartridge is dying.
I have never been interested in a 17 cal. before now so I never bothered to look into it. Now that I have a little bit, it seems the advantages of the WSM over the HMR should be a no-brainer. Getting that extra yardage into 200+ makes it a viable tool in my mind...something between the 22's and overkill.
Savage seems to have screwed the whole thing up from the start, so I get that, but why aren't more manufacturers offer chambering?
