I know a few people here haven't been able to find any ammo for these guns for a while without it being $100/box. Academy now has some online and in some stores. I just loaded up since I am down to about 5 bullets and was going to have to buy a new gun for next year (at least thats the excuse I was going to tell my wife).

Trade that thing in on a 6.5 Creedmoor or a .308. Or even a regular 270Win or a 30-06. Or a 300 Win Mag.
Or buy your own powder, primers, and bullets.

I was in the predicament but ended up finding that same ammo at an Academy here in TX close to where I work, so I bought 8 or so boxes to give me a total of 14 now. I think I am good for a while. I do have 2 Browning 270wsm's though, but still, I should be good for a long long time with 14 boxes.

What’s the wsm advantage over std 270?

If you’re ever in Texas I have several unopened boxes I can give you

It’s not going to get any better with the WSM cases, especially the 270 WSM. Browning/winchester is actively trying to kill it with the 6.8 western due to legal issues. It’s a great round so if you plan to keep the gun it’s time to learn to handload while components are somewhat easy to get ahold of.

I'm in the same boat, but the only rounds my gun has ever shot consistently are the Federal Fusions and I haven't seen that in 270 wsm in two years.

I took my scope off mine last yr and bought a regular 270. Last thing i did was found some of those you listed early last year before a trip to kentucky. Gog 2 boxes. When sighting in i ran into a couple that would not even chamber. So i took them out and measured. They was off.. so i opend both boxes and measured every bullett. Out of the 2 boxes i found 8 bullets that were too long by millimeters. Bolt wouldnt close... put the gun in the safe, and took my 308. When i got home i contacted winchester, after 2 months of dealing with them, and sendn in all both boxes. They fully refunded me.
In short, those bullets were garbage. And on top of it the 5 or 6 i did shoot to zero in gun were all over the paper. Wont buy those again
