270 wsm questions.
- Thread starter AlbertanBound
- Start date
I have used one for about 10 seasons now, shot a lot of deer and a bull elk with mine. It will give you about 200 fps over the 270 Winchester, so not a huge amount of difference between the two, but it does shoot a bit flatter. I picked mine up because I didn't already own a 270 Win, and I wanted a flat shooting rifle for deer hunting on the prairie. If I already owned a 270 Win or 7mm Rem Mag, I would see no point with the 270 WSM. However, I like the cartridge, it was new at the time, and I wanted something a little different.

Love mine that I have /had. Sold my 2 Tikka T3 LS models (new since 2004) when I bought a mint Sako m75ss model in 2012. I sold my Tikkas to my fatherinlaw and broinlaw .
140gr Accubond reloads were my medicine. The Winchester Supreme Ammo in 140gr Accubonds or the 150gr XP3's would be a great choice in factory ammo.
140's have more than proven performance on big game in my family...elk, moose, bears, deer, wolves.
I never really experimented too much with the Barnes TSX in 140 gr or the 130gr TTSX. They would be a great choice as well. The performance of my reloads of AB's, I stuck with them.

I have one 270 wsm barrel and it was the most accurate rifle I ever had . I need an action to get her back
I own 2 Browning A bolts in 270WSM. One I have owned since 2003ish?? Killed many many animals from yotes to deer to elk and lots in between. Awesome round! I don't think I will ever get rid of them,..well maybe when particle execrators become mainstream 
The reason I bought mine.
I hand load, if I stuck to factory ammo, I might not have. Grizz
I've had mine for about 8 years now for deer and moose and even if I upgrade the rifle in the future, the caliber is going to stay the same. Factory ammo is expensive but also varies from store to store. The win ballistic silvertips I use are $62 at canadian tire and $37 at Lebarons.
