270 Winchester short magnum. Lighter/stiffer action and barrel. More velocity from shorter gun. Equals 270 Weatherby in velocity with shorter barrel and lighter rifle. It's on my wish list!!!
I use to own a 270 wsm. It was a good gun and flat shooting, but it kicked like a mule. Also, i hear the barrel doesnt last too long on the count of throat erosion,
but i have no experience with that. I sold the rifle when cheap federal ammo reached $47 a box. I could reload, but i like the option to buy if i feel the need. I would go-06 or 308. Two very solid and versatile cartridges.
