May not need it but man having options make it great. I have both a 270 win and a 270 wsm. I also own a 300 win and a 300 wsm. Oh and an 8mm remington mag and a 325 wsm. Cant forget the 25-06 and 25 wssm. I own 8 guns where 4 would be all I need. But saying I own 8 guns is way cooler than saying I own 4. What one gun will do the other will too. They all shoot good and none of mine have any feeding issues. Pick one and dont look back or second guess that you got the wrong one.
