On paper the 270wsm sure is appealing, and yes, it does outpreform its predecessor the 270win.
Its all diddly, complete and utter diddly. I am certianly not going to drop my 270win for a 270wsm for a few extra fps. Would it be a determining factor for a new rifle purchase... I'd be lying if I said no.
the 270win has quite the resume, and honestly anything that a 270win will do, a 270wsm will do with slightly more velocity and energy; but what does that mean to you?
The 270win is out preformed by the 270wsm, in factory and handloaded ammo in most instances, however you can load up the 270win and get some pretty stellar preformance. Having a 270win, I can't see my self trading it in for a 270wsm, they are just too similar.
