Cases are bascially the same but since the 270 has a thinner neck the technical answer is the 270 can not hold as much. But the common sense answer is they hold the same because the bullets would be taking up most, if not all the neck space.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
Thanks Snowwolfe, I was just interested. I would then think the comments I've read that the 270 WSM does not out perform a 270 are just people who don't like new cal.s.

That pretty much sums it up regarding the WSM's. What is not to like about a 140gr Accubond at 3260fps?
I have stated ever since the intro of the WSM's that if you are in the market for a magnum, then it's hard to look past one of the WSM's, but if you own a good magnum currently, there's little reason to replace it.
What the American public doesn't know is what makes them the American public.
For me, the advantage of the 270 WSM or 300 WSM is they can be built on lighter, shorter actions than comparable rounds with the same "power". When I was considering building a light rifle weighed both a Win70 30-06 and 300 WSM barreled actions and the 300WSM was almost 5 ounces lighter.

Cool guys great info. Very interesting stuff. I've tried to ask questions about my 270 WSM in medium bore and been met with alot of negative comments about my intelligence for buying one. My experience is it's my death ray in the field. I love it. I have noted the recoil seems higher than my 300 WM which makes sense with what I've learned. Thanks
