You may be right, though I believe the .300 WSM ballistics-wise has about the same performance as the .300 Winchester Magnum, only difference is the cartridge casing itself is shorter but wider (from what I can tell). That said, perhaps they meant to say .300 Winchester Short Magnum but got it confused with .300 Winchester Magnum.
