The .270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) is a short-length magnum cartridge developed by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 2002. It is based on a shortened .300 Winchester Magnum case and uses a .277 caliber bullet, making it an ideal choice for those seeking powerful performance with minimal recoil.
The .270 WSM's efficient ballistics allow it to maintain flat trajectories and impressive retained energy levels at further ranges. This makes it great for hunters looking to take down large game such as elk or moose with pinpoint accuracy at extended distances. Its low recoil also makes it suitable for novice shooters learning how to shoot, while its high velocity ensures devastating knockdown power when needed.
