An archery friend of mine is wanting to add rifle hunting to his list of hunting pursuits here in Utah. He is planning on purchasing a Savage and has narrowed his choice to the 270WSM or the 7WSM. His plans are to use the rifle for mule deer and elk with the emphasis on deer. I told him to go with the 7 for the following reasons - bullet selection and increased energy if he starts shooting past 500 yds --- he is leaning towards the 270 as he feels the 130 or 140 accubonds will cover all his needs (which is very likely true). He has not shot long range ever - but if he gets the bug like the rest of us - I think he would be happier with the 7 ---- what are some of your thoughts.
