So last year I bought a stainless .270 WSM M70 rifle. I also have accumulated some fired brass for this rifle, new brass is unobtainable for the most part. I can only find Winchester Deer Hunter XP 130 gr ammunition in the Big R stores around me for about $80 a box out the door, online a little over $50 a box if I buy a case of 200 rounds.

So new 6.8 Western ammunition is far more plentiful in stores and online and with more options in bullet choices. New brass for this is also pretty much unobtainable right now for reloading as well.

I don't think there is a huge difference between the two. I also don't think the .270 WSM will ever completley go away. However, there is the fact that bullets are progressing towards faster twist barrels.

I'm just thinking of ordering a Bartline 2b to be installed when I restock my rifle.

Not a lot of difference in case design.
