I have had two 270 WSMs. One shoots very well, the other only so-so. The good shooter I got for a crazy good price used, scoped, with forty tuned handloads using Bergers. I used it one day to kill a good WT buck I surprised (and he surprised me too!) in a dry sagebrush draw. Then the next morning shot a pronghorn in the same place. I haven't had any trouble finding new brass... got my latest bag primed a month ago.
