[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2553874, member: 69192"] For me the .270WSM is a close runner up to the .270AI. With the .270 AI having a little more horsepower. I built the .270AI because I wanted a wildcat cartridge to add to the safe. I think I’ve owned rifles I just about every factory cartridge ever made and wanted something different. I also wanted something that would fill the gap for long range cartridge and under .30 caliber. I was seriously looking at the .280 AI, but at the time I could not figure out what Nosler was doing with their .040 thousandths difference from the parent.280 Remington cartridge. This was when the .280AI first hit the market. I went so far as to find a store that carried the cartridge and was very impressed when I saw it. But couldn’t figure out what Nosler was doing and didn’t want to get stuck having to buy their brass so went with the .270AI instead. My thoughts on the .270 SAUM are that if it’s close to a .270 WSM, perhaps that would be the road to go?? However there’s the bragging factor that goes with a .270 SAUM, and the custom reamer, the custom dies, and a rifle that is .270 SAUM compatible. These are all factors that can be worked on and made to work. I still believe that a .270 WSM with a 26 inch, 1:8 twist will make a great long range set up that would be capable of shooting the newest heavy, high BC bullets. [/QUOTE]
