270wsm still alive and kicking ?

[Hudge76]

I have a .270 WSM and 6.8 Western. I'm still fire forming 7 SAUM brass so I can reload for the 6.8 Western. I've tested 165 gr ABLR's in the .270 WSM, but I couldn't get them to stabilize. My particular WSM likes 140 gr bullets, so most of my loads are with those bullets. I working up a load with 150 gr. BT's. Now that my hunting season is over and work has slowed down, I can get back to testing them.

I'm confused. From memory, I thought 270 WSM had a .550 día @ 0.200" line where SAUM was 0.532"??

My little brother shoots an older 270 WSM, it's lighting with 130's.

I am almost positive the 7 SAUM is .550". At least that's what I see on the SAAMI chart.
