The 270WSM and the 300WSM are the two most popular of the Winchester short magnum family from what I have heard. I have a 7mmWSM and the accuracy is very impressive to me. They say that my 7mmWSM is going to die very soon but the 270WSM sales are OK. Everyone has a 270Win or a 30-06, including me. (the 06, sold the 270) I kind of like the "different" cartridges and the 270WSM appears to be a good one. If you like it.......that's all that really matters!
