.270 wsm?

[OldGuy]

has the .270 wsm lost its attraction? Savage Arms no longer lists that chambering in some models, although there are some of the rifles still available thru dealers. I sent them a message, asking for information, but no response yet.

I don't think it will fade away like the 7mm WSM will (or has). A lot of guns have been sold and a lot of ammunition manufacturers are still loading a wide variety of rounds for it. It is a great caliber, I have one, and it does basically everything a 7mm Rem mag does in a short action, just a far narrower range of bullet weights available in .270 compared to .284

Browning still sells quite a few. I've got an a bolt 270 and 300, both in wsm. I love em both!!

It certainly hasn't lost attraction with me. I mostly archery hunt but love the Winchester model 70 I have, except finding ammo!

Best reason I seen to start reloading!

it can be tough to find ammo and brass for but its a great cartridge! We sell a lot of the brass, only sold a few of the rifles. Its definitely a reloaders cartridge.

I cannot see the 270 WSM losing it's luster. A agree it's hard not to love both these wsm especially in the A-bolts !

270wsm shouldn't lose its appeal. We reload, but never noticed a shortage of ammo at the Academy's around here.

ammo is easy to find, the ammo you want is hard. why it is hard to find factory loaded 140 gr accubonds is beyond me, unless nosler just can't produce enough bullets.

Midway had them when I looked earlier today.

The gunsmith I use has had a tough time getting accubonds in multiple calibers including the LR's. He's been using more Berger VLD's.

I also believe the 270 WSM will be around a long time, have never had problem finding factory ammo here in Wisconsin.
