Thread: 270 WSM 20”

Considering factory options to turn into a 20” hunting rifle that you can stretch easily to 300m with up to 140-150gr bullet but also trying to find a balance between recoil. So been playing with the 6.5 PRC and unfortunately not to many factory 7mm options. So would you conquer if you divide?

Had a quick play around on Quickload with 270 WSM and can get about 2900fps out of 20” barrel for the 150gr ABLR, but the 1:10 twist will most likely present a challenge in stabilising the bullet, but there are some other options as well. Suppose a 284 or SAUM would be ideal but no factory options. Shortening a factory 6.5 PRC is also a option, but components seems to be a challenge.

Any real world experience with a 270 wsm?
