Not WSM but the WSSM. Short magnum cartridges are just as long as a regular .243 win or .308 win. Its the Super Short's that changed things.
I would have thought if this was the reasoning, they would have stipulated a minimum energy level, along the european model, to exclude all those pip squeak cartriges that have no business being used on Big Game. As I pointed out, there is nothing in the reg., as written, to stop me hunting with a cartridge that has less energy than the .22 LR, as long as it is .23 or larger.

I own an SKS and other than the cartrige, which I would consider marginal, there are too many other issues with that piece of sh to make me consider it as a hunting rifle.
