0.17 WSM?

Interested in anyone that has any real world experience of these.  I'm bored of my TBolt 17 hmr trigger and was on the verge of switching to another 17 hmr but wondered whether the 17 wsm would give me less wind problems and hopefully more consistent ammunition.

How do you find them as along range Rabbit and short range fox tool, how easy is it too get ammunition, would a SAK mod be suitable?

Thanks

I have one. The Savage bolt is OK, just different. Back along the RWS 22WMR chucked out 360 ftlbs at the muzzle and was quite a good short range fox round. So I figured at 400 the WSM might just be a tad better. It is, but accuracy lets it down and with Hobson's choice for ammo it means that it's not up to the mark for long range rabbit. If you're after rabbit then Dougy makes a good point. However, before doing anything else and as I used to use these, try the Remingtons in your 17HMR if you haven't already - you might just decide to keep it. Can't answer for the moderator as I don't have one.
