270 WSM

The .270 WSM or .270 Winchester Short Magnum is a short, unbelted, magnum cartridge created by necking down the .300 Winchester Short Magnum and loading it with a .277 Caliber bullet. The correct name for the cartridge, as listed by the SPorting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute is 270 WSM, without a decimal point. The 270 WSM comes quite close in performance to the legendary .270 Weatherby Magnum, with notable differences being that the 270 WSM is chambered in a short action and normally utilizes a 24 inch barrel whereas the old Weatherby cartridge utilizes a long action and is commonly paired with a 26 inch barrel.
