[QUOTE="Moose47, post: 2163528, member: 116196"] Yes they shortened the WSM case, so they don't interchange. What the hype is they upgraded the twist rate from 10 to 8 which allows you to shoot the longer heavier bullets that they made for the 6.8. Bottom line is the 270 family is still a great hunting cartridge without the heavy bullets, so if you want to shoot the 165gr-170gr bullets just get a 7mm ,280,308 or one of the many other rifles made for that bullet range. It's like if bought a 223 were you wanting to shoot a 140 or 150 gr bullet. [/QUOTE]
