I've never gotten into the short mag craze. I'd get the standard .270 winchester myself. like doyle said, the main reason for the WSM is the same round made shorter. but that also makes it fatter so a rifle that might hold 5 now drops down to 4 or even 3. not a big deal to most but something to consider. probably won't ever be able to cycle through 5 shots fast enough anyway.
