What's wrong with 270 WSM?

[The Guide]

Gun will likely be banned at some point soon in Canada

I hope that day never comes for your country.

The 270 WSM suffers from meh. The 270 win is awesome and the WSM just doesn't add much. Oh it is a shorter case, well that is meh. The win has ammo everywhere so why bother just for a shorter bolt throw. Now the 6.8 Western, well that does bring something new. Heavier for caliber bullets. So the WSM suffers because the Win is just too good.

Great take.

I think the 6.5 PRC is the "modern .270" for those wanting a fantastic hunting round of that recoil class. No .277 will ever catch it in popularity now.

It’s coming if the joke we have for a prime minister gets elected again. Currently can’t buy or sell handguns, banned most semis, likely gonna ban the rest of everything semi then move to the next target. Hopefully by the time I’d done hunting I can still do archery.

Any thoughts how that will affect the hunting industry in Canada?

That is correct. Funny I dont have a 270 anymore but do have a 6.5 PRC.

I agree with this on 6.5 prc being modern 270 win but in the long run the 6.8x51/277 sig will vastly outclass the 6.5s in popularity. It will take some time like it did with the 223, 30-06 and 308 but any cartridge used as main battle rifle ends up top of heap
