i use a 270 wsm its a great gun lighter than a regular 270 and i herd there isnt a major noticeable difference in distance unless your using a higher grain cartridge

I purchased my gun last year. I considered the 270WSM and when it cmae down to deciding I went with the regular 270 in a Browning A-bolt. To me I just couldn't justify spending the extra bucks on the wsm. I reloaded my own cartridges using 130 gr. and am fairly close to the ballistics on paper to the wsm. I have shot 2 deer with it both under a 100 yards and both stopped in their tracks. It is a tack driver out to 200 yards. I never tried shooting any further seeing I rarely shoot 100 yards where I hunt.(Manitoulin Island). The gun has no recoil and is just a pleasure to shoot. In regards to the ballistics on paper that was comparing the Winchester pamphlet on their calibers and cartridges and the Lyman's recipe book for reloading.

Just read some more info, I would look at the 270 WSM, it has far better balistics.
