RE: 270win or wsm?
I faced that choice a couple weeks ago. I decided to go with the 270 WSM. The extra velocity was not the deciding factor as much as the short action and the feel of the Super Shadow that it came in. I put a Scheels Hunter 4.5X14X40 scope on it. The Scheels scopes have a lifetime over the counter warranty and are really well made scopes. Walmart here sells the Winchester Ballistic Silvertips for 23.00 a box. I will however reload mine. Winchester, Norma and Remington are making brass for reloaders now and there are plenty of bullets. There are a bunch of new factory loads out this year as well.
