greyowl,
I do not own a 270wsm but I own a 7mmwsm and a 300wsm. Before buying I did as much research as possible. Of the 3 major wsm's the 270 is the only one that gives a slight increase in ballistics, but it's not earth shattering. You did not mention what you consider long range. I shoot mine out to 600yds at steel. Obvioulsy I do not shoot at game that far, but I practice that far and they perform well. The reason I got the wsm's is because of a short action. If they have a good price buy it I think you will like it. I doubt you will notice any difference in recoil between a 270 and a 270wsm. Also I would not buy a wsm unless you reload. I personally feel that is the only way to fully enjoy a wsm. Just my opinions.
Good luck
