Thanks Sheep. That may be the route I go.
...but...what about the 7mmRemMagSTWUltraMag?
Hehehe well as a cowboy told me today. You already have a wby mag so what the f..... is the point lol. I was a wsm and it looked fine.
the 7 Wby mag is probably one of the best 7mm magnums...but, for the life of me I can't understand why the 270WSM has become more popular than the 7mmWSM...maybe the shooting world is just saturated with 7mm's.....
270WSM is the only short mag that outperforms it's long action counterpart...that's why
The 270WSM outperforms the .270 win by having 13 more grains case capacity- not really a counterpart IMO with such an increase in capacity.
Not the case with the 7mmWSM and the 300WSM.- Pretty close capacities to the 7mmRM and 300WM once the bullet is stuffed in to SA length, hence the near identical velocities.
All are great cartridges and all have their niche.

How can people use a non-WSM/RUM rifle? I believe to this day that pre-WSM hunting is a myth and never happened

I had a Sako Finnlight in 270 WSM and it was the worst shooting gun I have ever owned (I've owned over twenty five centerfire). The gun itself was absolutely flawless and I loved the hell out of it but it was simply not an accurate gun. Groups ran around 2" with just about every load I assembled. I tried 130g & 140g bal. tip, SST, hotcore, partition, sierra gameking, and accubond over five different powders. I even tried some ancient 150 grain silvertips which turned out to be one of the better loads. I had it to my smith (Bill Leeper) to check the barrel for flaws or potential bedding issues I may have missed and he said it looked fine and the barrel was one of the better factory barrels he had seen. It also, like most wsm's, fed poorly with the bolt often over-riding the next cartridge. The A7 should not have that problem I think it is a straight stack mag. I had two options....send it back to the retards at stoeger or sell it. I sold it. Funny..... 1600$ for two inch groups and the 500$ .300 rem sps that I bought to replace it shoots honest 1/2 inch groups with the SECOND handload I tried. Go figure. I can honestly say I am the only guy that I am aware of who has had a bum sako. Most are deadly. I loved the stock and currently have a mcmillan hunter (sako 75 replica) on order for my .300 rem sps.
Just my experience.

let me rephrase
how does a 270 Wby Mag get a 300 fps edge over a 270WSM, all things being equal?
How does the WSM compare for sccuracy? Most WSM's I've met of any cal werent up to the same accuracy level of the same cal in different cartridges re:throat length.
A very wise man told me, its not the size of the gun but where you put the shot
