WSM's and short barrels?
It seems the standard WSM barrel is 24"
Browning uses a 23", which I assume on the .300wsm isn't a big deal, but on the 270wsm, I would think it's getting short?
Sako uses a 22-7/16" 270wsm barrel, and a 24-3/8" 300 wsm barrel.
ie they use their 270win barrel for their 270wsm barrel, and same for the 300win.mag/wsm barrels.
going from 24 to 23 or 24 to 22-7/16" probably isn't much but when say the 270wsm deserves a 26" barrel, going to 23 or less, could be a big deal don't you think?
Are factory 270wsm ballistics taken from 26" barrels? 24" barrels?
Your thoughts??
