RE: 270 win VS. 270 WSM
i shoot a 270 winchester and out of the 24" barrel on my remington 700, i can shoot a 140 grain Hornady interlock boattaill at 2960fps. its a pretty smoking hot load. and i took it deer hunting this year and it dropped the deer in its tracks. I have thought about getting a 270 WSM but i cant justify getting one when my standard 270 performs like it does.
