The 270 WSM is a fantastic cartridge. Rick Jamison had patents on it and successfully sued Olin/Winchester for patent infringement.
I don't know all of the details of the settlement, but it was believed that Jamison may have gotten royalties for every rifle sold that was a "WSM".
The 6.8 Westerner will save Winchester/Browning from paying Jamison in the future by tweeking a great cartridge and making it more useful for today's trends of shooting higher BC bullets.....just a thought.
