ignorant here..whats the advantage over a 6.5 rem mag ?
noticeable ?
Not a lot. Case capacity and length are for practical purposes the same. No belt on the WSM, plus only Remington makes 6.5 Rem. brass and it's a seasonal run. Remington, Winchester, Norma, Federal, and Nosler carry 270 WSM brass. Some would say that having to neck down 270 WSM brass is a disadvantage but it's no big deal, I run new brass into the die to straighten the necks anyway.
