Hi,
What do you guys think of 270 short mag for deer hunting ?

Topped with a good scope and practice it should be a nice rifle. Limited cartridge selection probably. It mainly comes down to getting the bullet in a killing area.

I haven't used one, but one of the guys that hunts our farm got one this year. He put one on a nice big 8 point at 100 yards. Dead right there.

It should make an excellent choice for deer.

I just asked my father about the 270 wsm the other day and he said he has been told
that that most WSM burn up the barrel pretty quick. I will have to research this more.

amazing deer caliber , has all the power needed to get a deer , shoots farther and flatter then a normal 270.

My dad used it to take his largest buck to date this past rifle season , a PA 8 Pt , cant figure out how to put up some pics of it tho.

excellant choice imo.

I’m looking forward to using my new 270 wsm for this years hunt. In all the article I read before buying my rifle this is the first time I here that the wsm is a barrel burner. I guess anything is possible.

It would be as good as a 270 Winchester and it doesn;t get any better than that for deer. A deer would never know the difference between the standard 270 and the new WSM I may try one because I am between 270's right now. Don't expect to see much difference in performance between the two. In the real world the difference is nil.
