It is a realy good caliber,worth it once things are running.I liked it because of the short bolt,being used to .243 and 22-250 varminting I'd go deer hunting with the old .280 and have a habit of jamming it because I wouldn't pull the bolt back far enough.Plus an elk I got with the 270WSM using Barnes tripple shocks,shot it mostly head on through one shoulder blade(the thickest part)took out four ribs,a lung ,liver,stomach,+more,found the bullet about 6inches from coming out the other end inbetween the hind quarters.Plenty of power.
