I am about to purchase an older 270 wsm, but I like the looks of the 6.5 PRC also. Trying to get preferences or opinions.

The 6.5 will ultimately be superior in ammo selection and thus also better bullet selection. I think that's all you need to know to make that decision.

I like a .270wsm though it's underrated IMO.

I'd buy the one that punches the bigger hole personally.

This. The 270WSM just did not take off like the mfgs hoped it would. The 6.5 PRC will probably be the same way since it is not being hyped as much as the 6.5 Creed which is the fanboys favorite and has been for the past 2 yrs. I also think that within 2 yrs the 6.5 PRC will probably have a better factory loaded ammo selection than the 270wizzum. That said, if you want the 270 WSM, get it. There are and will continue to be good factory loadings in it and it is a good round too.
