[QUOTE="el matador, post: 855790, member: 12193"] I have heard theories about why the WSM should be more accurate. Shorter case=stiffer action, more uniform powder ignition, etc. There are dozens of things that affect accuracy in a rifle and the merits of the short action are far less significant than the quality of the rifle and ammunition. Either caliber will shoot extremely well if you have those. If accuracy is the goal I would lean toward the original 270. It's going to have slightly less recoil which can only help accuracy. Also it's easier to find precision reloading dies and brass. Speaking of availability, 270s do suffer quite a bit in that regard. Long range bullets are much harder to come by than 7mm or 30 caliber stuff. [/QUOTE]
