I am looking to buy a 270 wsm. I am thinking about the Savage or the Tika. Which is the most accurate? Is the 270 wsm a good shooter?

    I am getting a 270wsm in a few months and was wandering what the recoil is like. What is it equivilant to. If it helps the rifle will be a Tikka T3 Lite.

    I'm in need of counseling so I'm laying on the couch. Please tell me reveared sages of the shooting world why did winchester come out with the 270wsm. I've shot ywo and the accuracy is not that impressive and I have taken coues deer up to a shiras moose with my old M70 270. Am I missing something or is bullet placement still not 90% of shooting big game[xx(]

    I am not sure why the thread was locked. I just went back and looked at the cases I have. The ones I sized are nice and smooth. I looked closely at the ones I tried to put in the rifle and there is a dig in the brass about 1/8" starting at the shoulder of the cartridge. This can only come from the chamber. My gunsmith is closed for a week so I will have to wait and see what he thinks.

    Hello,
    I am new to this forum, so if I am not posting correctly let me know.
    I plan on reloading some 270 WSM shells with 150 gr. sst bullets. I have all the componets I need except I got standard large rifle primers instead of mag.large rifle primers. Will the standards work? Some sites say yes will others reccomend the mag. primers. Any info would be appreciated. I have had this rifle since Dec. and have not fired it yet. I want to roll loads so I can practice a little.
    Thank you

    Large Rifle Primers would work...Unless you use big slow burning powder charges
