270 wsm ?

[Monkeymaster]

Hello
Never owned or rebarrelled a wsm.
Use short sction ?
Large or small shank ?
Bolt head size ?

How do these short fat rounds cycle thru the rifle ? Good,bad, so,so, pita ?

Anything to look out for ?

Thanks

It requires a large shank & uses a .540” bolt face, and they are Short Action. They cycle just fine. Never seen a problem based on the case itself.

Also you can use a small shank Long action if you alread have one. A long action magnum (7 Mag, or 300 Mag) donor rifle are pretty easy to make work with a WSM build. But if you are using all factory parts a WSM donor action is the easiest.
