[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 2089349, member: 34818"] The 270 WSM is almost the same as the 6.8 Western except that they moved the shoulder back .08". They say that this allowed them to use the larger for caliber bullets and not have the longer bullets protrude into the case too far. .08" will help but it will only help people who don't reload. This cartridge was clearly made for the person who only uses factory ammunition which is most of the country. Stop looking at it in a reloaders mindset and start looking at it in a non-reloaders mindset and it will make more sense. It finally gives a non-reloader an ability to use a larger for caliber round and the rifles will have the appropriate twist. I think it might do ok but not sure. [/QUOTE]
