I dearly love both my 300 WSM,one is a featherweight and the other is a Super Black shadow.I go along with Big Bulls if Winchester comes out with a 338 WSM,it would be next on my list,then the 270 WSM.I would like a Tikkia T-3 lite in 270 WSM.

I recently acquired a .270 WSM (Winchester Model 70) and, so far, really like it. I didn't have a .270 at all so it filled that niche nicely.

I have a Browning a-bolt .270 wsm and it seems to shoot well and handle good . As far as being better than a .270 win its like spliting hairs. I had a .270 win for 18 yrs and I cant say the recoil is much different.

I like the 270 WSM best. Close behind would be the 300 then the 7MM. I think in the end I will prefer the 25WSSM above all.

if you ask me, the wsm's and wssm's are simply a way of getting people to buy new guns, with one exception: the .270 wsm. If you look at the ballistics, the .7mm, .300, .243, or .223 all mimic somthing. A .300 win mag, a .7mm Rem mag. The .243 win, or the .220 swift. These guns really don't give you higher velocity. They kick the same, or so slightly, you will NEVER know the difference if you compared identical guns. They are not more accurate. Even though some say the wider powder column burns more consistantly. But unless you are compressing your load, think of the dead air space on top of your powder when a case is horizontal. But that beautiful .270. think about it this way, it really isn't much better than your standard .270, but it does compete with the weatherby. It's performance looks great on paper, but the cost of guns and factory ammo are simply out of reach for most guys. But the.270 wsm is available to everyone. Props to winchester for that!
