I'm getting the itch for another caliber I've never shot before. Been looking at some WSM calibers in my ancient Nosler & Hornady Manuals, but have no one locally to ask about their opinions, and thinking about a 270WSM or ? for a walk about shooter. Tried a Wby SS 7Rmg once upon a time and sold it 'cause it weighed a lot more than I was comfortable with. Most of my magnum experience was with an early M70 SS 300WinMg, that I never should have sold. Snooze Ya Looze.

Love them. Them being (2) 7 WSM’s; I also had a couple .325’s at one point. Also love my 6.5 SAUM.
I like the performance in a short action. I like the efficiency. And I’ve seen truly excellent accuracy from the 7 WSM I built and the 6.5 SAUM I built.
Downsides are, I guess, rounds in the belly. If a guy is used to having say 5 + 1 of say 30-06 or whatever, having 3 + 1 might bug them. Hasn’t been a problem for me. YMMV.
