Unless you have extra money to spend on wsm dies, brass, powders (you might have some from other mag cartridges) or if you don't reload the extra in cost of shells go with the 270 win, its only about 100 fps more. Put that in a ballistics calculator and it isn't worth the extra effort involved (3" at 500 yards) Then factor in availability in small towns, target practice, hunting foreign countries, added recoil. The 270 win and either H4831 or H4350 works great over almost all the bullet wts available. It really makes you wonder where common sense went? Get a 270 win in a 24" long barrel and you will never know the difference in the field, the only difference will be in your pocketbook.
