.270 vs .270 WSM

Which do you prefer and why?

  • .270

  • .270 wsm

Just like many of the SM designs, the 270 WSM was a marketing ploy.... a solution in search of a problem. Not to mention some of them can create problems that may not exist in the older design/caliber. Carrying the "logic" of the shorter, fatter overbore concept one step further... most all the SSMs are real head scratchers, especially for hunting use.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
