[QUOTE="jd5521, post: 2083695, member: 94694"] As I see it the only point of Winchester and Browning developing this was so there could be a production rifle produced that mimicked what others have been building custom 270 wsm’s throated long for years now. If you want a production rifle that’s less expensive this cartridge would be the way to go. But compared to having your barrel throated for the heavies I don’t see another advantage. 6,8 western has a shorter shoulder and maybe some taper taken out of the 270 wsm parent case. [/QUOTE]
