[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1769091, member: 13632"] I think the performance gain would be minimal, your looking at a 3 grain capacity difference, the Blaser has more room to have some wildcatting fun with it but then your again getting out of the build your wanting, it's a fun one to think about though!! The 270 WSM is had to improve on for that middle ground of performance and recoil especially with the 170 Berger. My barrels have gone over 1200 rounds but that was being hard on them, I have one near 2000 rounds but it's lost some velocity and isn't accurate with but a couple bullets so being kind to it I bet your looking at 1400ish rounds. For shear economics vs performance vs recoil the 270 WSM holds a solid spot for that everyday every use kind of rifle, though it's vanilla compared to like the 270 Sherman which is the performance king on a 06 case head, the 270 SS is also one I really like but is for a short action build where the WSM just won't fit properly.
