I think the 270 WSM is a great cartridge, but I get 3100 fps with my standard 270 Win. and 140 grain bullets. Does the WSM really get 200 fps better than that?

I am in similar shoes.

3167 fps (5 short average) out of my standard 270 win, 130 grain bullets with a 22.5" barrel. If a 270WSM was really 200fps faster than that I would be interested, but I am skeptical.

Nothing to be skeptical about. 3400+ is easy to get from a .270 WSM with a 130gr bullet. The Nosler books max velocity load is 3396 fps with the 130gr and the books are conservative when it comes to the top end. The .270 WSM is a performer.

So far gun has preformed flawlessly. I've killed 2 bears and 2 yotes so far this month.

I’ve chronographed my 270wsm with 140 grain hornady’s at 3,200 FPS and great accuracy.
