270 Wsm

[Art Eatman]

"I really don't believe that throat erosion will be an issue for the vast majority of hunters."

Amen!

I doubt most hunters shoot a box of 20 shells a year. Half-a-dozen for sight-in, maybe, and three or five in the woods on the hunt.

I can't help but wonder if the short mag specs are not optimistic.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Well I read through all this and no one mentioned that with a 270wsm your capacity is decreased ,

let the poor kid buy the mag., it'll be a great gun anyways, even if a bit overkill for what he needs and a bit to expensive. There just look at the smile on his face!
