Well ballistics are so close on them it doesn't really matter in that sense. I'd go with the 300 WSM for it's lighter recoil.

The ballistics are really close. I shoot a 300 WSM and love it to dead. It has a little more drop than the mag though. I am a small guy so the yes recoil the better I shoot the gun. I would buy another one in a heart beat.

It is splitting hairs ballistically. I own both but use my 300WSM all the time. Shoots well, reloads easy and just very comfortable with the rifle.

If I were you, I would shoot each and go with the one you like better.

Re: 300 mag vs 300 wsm
Both are great choices and as has been stated are ballistically twins. I would give the nod to the short mag simply on the premise of superior case design. The WSM has less taper, a sharper shoulder, and a longer neck making it a "better" case in my opinion. As far as kick goes, they both kick too hard for me.--------SS
