I’ve had both...I no longer have the wsm and have two ‘06‘s. If I was an elk hunter, I might have kept the wsm, but with its recoil and minimal ballistic advantages, I like shooting the ‘06’s much more. Less expensive, more available ammo, slicker feed and less recoil are the difference makers for me. However my 270 WSM will be one of the last rifles I let go of.
