[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1164545, member: 2736"] I hadn't heard that, Interesting. The reason I built mine was that It had the biggest case capacity of all the WSMs and SAUMs. brass only became scarce because of it's popularity. Remington was the first to come out with a Short mag and Winchester had to trump the SAUM by adding a slightly larger case to there WSMs, Although the difference between the WSM and the SAUM is very little, I succumbed to the larger case as lots did. The 7 WSM is the largest case in the WSM line and has the best ballistics of all the others. The 270 is/was popular because of the ammo and brass availability and the fact that it is very close to the performance of the 7 WSM, Although there is not as many good bullets available for it, it is a very good cartridge and all the people that have one love it. Comment; Who knows what the cartridge/brass makers are thinking anymore and we just have to keep great cartridges alive. The 280 rem is a good example of a great cartridge that just would not go away and has become one of the most popular cartridges today. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
