[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1793116, member: 21524"] Not really. What I am saying is that unless you are going to put a barrel on it with a 1:8 twist to shoot something like the 170gr Berger EOL than you’ll neuter the cartridge and won’t get the performance you were wanting. If set up to shoot the 170 EOL the 270 WSM is great, and certainly much better. However most are not. Most run a 1:10 and that definitively limits your ideal bullet selection, and any perceived benefit over the 6.5 Creed by switching will, practically speaking, be very marginal. Case in point, a 270 wsm shooting the 150gr Berger at 3050fps has 50ft/lbs more energy at 1000 yards then a 6.5 Creed shooting the 143 ELD-X at 2750fps...IMHO that’s not worth the cost of the transition.
