[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 717387, member: 8394"] Just cut a 270 wsm down to 17.5 inches. Don't know why I didn't go 16.5, kinda chickened out going all the way. Have not shot over 130 grains but I'm doing about 200 fps accross the boards less than 26 inches. Kinda surprised as I figured it would be north of that, some bullets and weights are worse than others. But still it does quite well. I would think the 7 wsm would do better. Honestly love the stubby 270, definitely need to order another barrel and consider nitride. Its the rifle I shoot as well as my friends shoot the most. Don't know why but a 270wsm the size of a normal 22wmr makes for a hoot to shoot. [/QUOTE]
