Far Superior?

At 200 yards:

270 Win 270 WSM

Vel2510 2707 dif 197fps
Eng 1818 2114dif 296 ft.lbs
300yd drop with150 yd zero 9.8 8.2 dif 1.6 inches

I doubt it. There is nothing "far superior" about those numbers, both are 130 grain Remington Core-loks. The 270 Hornady Light Magnum 130 grain beats the 270 WSM.
Short Mags are nothing but an effort to convince people that those minimaldifferences will make you a better hunter. There isvery little functionalobsolescence in firearms, so the new cartridges are how yousell more guns.
