I hunt with both a 270 and 270wsm in Tikka flavor. The wsm is the one I find myself reaching for most of the time (my 7STW, 30-06, 300wby, and 308 just don’t get used as much any more). I do hunt with the 270win and 35 Whelen every year....but not as much. I shoot all of them every year before deer season to make sure their gtg. Because I hunt exclusively with hand loads (unless I’m shooting my 300 or 340wby), ammo availability isn’t an issue for my lifetime. It would take deep contemplation to understand the reasoning. For me, I’m happy with the short fat cases. In fact, a commercialized 6.5wsm would quickly find a home.
