So they pushed the neck back a little on a WSM and hey presto we now have a 270SAUM.

Looks Like Rem missed the boat again. A 270SAUM with a fast twist barrel. Not saying it is not a good cartridge but to me it is nothing more than marketing for the majority and a damn good fit for a few.

Round wheels! Don't be stupid man. Don't you know they are responsible for the demise of the Dinosaur and for climate change.

Hunting with Winchester and Browning's new big-game cartridge.

Have read that and to my knowledge Rem still claim not to have had a 700 action fail, as in loose the bolt. Yes a few have been rendered U/S but shooters face still in good condition.
