Feeding problems are pretty much non-existant now, and my WSM savage feeds perfect fast or slow.I like the one inch shorter,slightly faster cycling,more rigid short action,and the 1/4 lb less weight myself and would pick the 270WSM.It will be around a long time and like the 300WSM has staying power and great ballistics.It has a slight advantage over the long action 270 even when compared against light magnum and high energy loadings, ballistic wise.Recoil is not bad and with a recoil pad can be tolerated by most shooters.A 22" barrel will offer good ballistics but they seem to come into there own with the 23-24" tubes.The 270WSM is probably the best of the entire short magnum field and will have more and more factory loads become available as time goes by,Remington is loading factory ammo for the 270WSM already.Right now their are 130gr ballistic silvertips,140gr fail safes,150gr ballistic silvertips,150gr power points,and 130gr premier core lokts available.Enjoy which ever you choose.
