As in essentially all western hunting applications.

Taking a half inch off the action, bolt, barrel and bottom metal/magazine is not exactly trivial.

Oh, and the WSMs feed just fine. It's interesting that the .270 fangirls are convinced other superior cartridges don't feed.


LOL, nice try bob. Why would you call someone who doesn't own a .270 a "fangirl?"

Because it's all you've got. Feeding issues with WSMs are well-documented. I bought a Remington model 700 WSM at Sportsman's and they have a no return policy. When I took it back and showed the manager how crappy the feeding was, he took it back and gave me a refund, no questions.

Ask Jordan what he uses for 7WSM brass.


A wise man is frequently humbled.
