The newest craze for short and fat cartridges seems to be snowballing and more chamberings are sure to follow. While I understand the theoretical advantages, my chronograph and the targets I have shot don't. Of course, mine is a very limited experience with just one chambering, the 270WSM, as compared to the 270 Win.
Free from defending a major advertiser, I am asking for learned comments on wheather the Short and Fat is really a marketing excercise that will fade with time or if there are significant advantages to the new wunder rounds beyond mere velocity? Too, it seems that Winchester has outdone the competition. Why?
