I had a 270 WSM and wound up selling it to someone who wanted it much more than I did. Would I own a 270 WSM again? The answer is no, I would not. Nothing wrong with it, I just don't think it offers that much over the 270 Winchester to justify the added cost in ammunition.
Get the 270 Win-not the WSM.
The 270 Win. is a classic deer cartridge. Any small town hardware store or gas station carries ammo for it. Why? Because the 270 Win. is a great deer cartridge.
As for the WSM, I don't believe they will thrive much longer. The added velocity (and barrel wear) doesn't really improve the intended purpose of the rifle. Plus, the cost of components and ammo is a lot more.
Get the 270 Winchester; you'll never regretit.I guarantee it!!!!!!!!
