[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 587915, member: 14172"] If you do not reload, I would say go with the 270WSM.....then again, I'm new to the lrh game so I'm no expert and don't have nearly as much experience or knowledge as a lot of people on this site. It seems like the 30 and 270 WSM are the only ones that are sticking around (7WSM factory rounds are getting harder to find) and there are plenty of factory ammo on the shelf for either at most stores. I do not live close to a cabelas or bass pro so I have to go with the local mom and pop store up the road from my house or go down to walmart and I can only ever find 270 or 30 WSM factory ammo while there. This is just my situation/location, you may have better luck finding 7WSM by where you live. On the other hand, I started to reload right around the time I had my first semi-custom built. I decided to go with the 7WSM because of the higher bc's and the better range of bullets at that time. So far I've only shot the 168 bergers out of the rifle, but I also just got a set of 160gr accubonds that I'm going to try out. Then there's always the 180gr berger hybrids, or VLD's. The list of possibilities is huge! At the time I built, the 7mm just gave better choices. I really don't see a downside to either and you will really enjoy shooting whatever one you decide on.
