hey guys just got an xbolt in 270 wsm. stainless with 23" barrel curious what everyone is using and finding for loads for it in hunting applications? thanks for any info. naturally i will develope my own loads and refer to manuals so dont panic. just curious what others are finding. thanks!
To buy several 100 brass while it's still available to reload down the road.I think the WSM's days are numbered with the exception of perhaps the .270 + .300 version that have had some popularity.The Rem short versions are all but extinct.I could be wrong.
I load 130 and 140 gr Barnes TSX for both elk and deer in my sons 270 wsm when hunting the open country.
Early season in a thick cover I load 160 gr Nosler Partition.
Worked pretty good so far on many deers, couple of elk and moose.
I load 129 barnes lrx for my sons, hes shot elk,moose,mule deer,and whitetails closest was 60 yards and farthest so far 410 yards and all have been impressive results.

Well, Id say your wrong. Many of these guns are still going off shelves and ammunition sales are strong. The 270 and 300 that is.
Id go with Ramshot Magnum and 130gr TTSXs. Its a 3300fps recipe.

Only the .270 +.300 are semi-popular.Wait 10 years hence the brass hoarding idea.Nothing wrong with the calibers but they are redundant as they have all been around in FL form 50 or more years.And no a short action don't mean much in O'Conner's days barrels were longer and guns were heavier even for the mountains.The Savage model 20 BA was likely the first fly weight rifle.Slick a pre-64 Win 70 in 300 H+H if you want to see smooth feeding.Not in the 1903 MS or Krag class but nice.Tappered case like a coke bottle not a bic lighter.
