The .270 Win Short Mag (WSM) at A Glance

The .270 Winchester Short Magnum is only the third .270 caliber cartridge ever produced and the first one since the early 1960s. The .270 Short Mag rides the wave of Winchester’s innovative short magnum cartridges that created a stir in the big game rifle market two decades ago.

All the evidence you need to understand the popularity of this cartridge comes in the variety of manufacturers offering high quality rifles in a wide price range and with multiple stock and barrel length options. Winchester, Tikka, Christensen, Savage and Browning all offer bolt-action rifles in the .270 Win Mag caliber. One of them is bound to work for you on your next deer, elk, moose or pronghorn hunt.

Hunters often choose the .270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) over the standard .270 Winchester due to its significantly higher velocity and flatter trajectory, producing more kinetic energy to take large game at longer distances.
