Basically the WSM line was built to provide magnum power in short rifle actions. The shorter the action, the stiffer it is, and theoretically the more accurate it is. I love the 270, but for most of the things I use it for, the 6.8 is just as good and a little easier on the shoulder/wrist.
Part of my love for the .270 comes from reading Jack O'Connor when I was a young sprout. And it has put plenty of venison in my freezer. I may break down and spend the $$$ for a Ruger No. 1 Light Sporter in .270. I think that is the prettiest, most graceful looking deer rifle made.
