Wsm 2008 Winner

Re: 300 wsm vs 30-06 The WSM is better than the 06 for certain bullet weights, just like the 308 excels with 155's and the 06 is a little lacking for that lower weight bullet from my experience. At 168 the 308 and 30-06 seem to be even from what I've shot first hand between my 06 and my dad's 308.

The 270 Winchester Short Magnum or 270 WSM is a short, unbelted, magnum cartridge created by necking down the .300 Winchester Short Magnum and fitting it with a .277 caliber bullet. The correct name for the cartridge, as listed by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI), is 270 WSM, without a decimal point.[3] It is a member of the Winchester Short Magnum family of cartridges.

Overview[edit]

When it was introduced, the 300 WSM sported a new case that showed a lot of promise for uses in other calibers. In 2002 Winchester introduced new cartridges in its Winchester Short Magnum family, including the 7 mm WSM and 270 WSM. This new .270 cartridge was the third commercial .270 ever produced, and the first one in 60 years.[1]

The 270 WSM is an improvement over the older 270 Winchester providing higher velocity with bullets of the same weight, and thus a flatter trajectory and more energy. Velocities tend to be about 250 ft/s (76 m/s) faster, in a cartridge that is shorter and can therefore be used ina shorter action resulting in a more compact rifle if desired.

Performance[edit]

The .270 WSM is the only cartridge of the WSM family that produces notable ballistic gains over other existing cartridges. The .300 WSM closely mimics the long-popular .300 Winchester Magnum, while the 7mm WSM matches performance of the 7mm Remington Magnum in similar barrel lengths. The .325 WSM is in a league of its own in North America as the 8 mm caliber has not become commonplace.[4]

The .270 WSM comes quite close in performance to that of the legendary .270 Weatherby Magnum, with notable differences being that the .270 WSM is chambered in a short action and normally utilizes a 24' barrel whereas the older Weatherby cartridge utilizes a long action and is most commonly paired with a 26' barrel.[citation needed]
