I've always wanted a 270 Wby but lately I have been giving some thought to the 264. Which way would you go?

Neither cartridge is that popular. I would not want a short throated 270 Weatherby as then pressures might be high with factory loads and handloading data for that matter.

To me the Weatherby was about those inlays in the stocks, forend tips at an angle and the free bore to get a few FPS more. I prefer traditional rifles. I have a Westerner.
