[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 394709, member: 13632"] The 270 WSM is an excellent choice for ranges out to 800yrds and at my elevation I would shoot mule deer out to a 1000yrds with it, even with the 140 Berger that I currently shoot. The difference between a Berger 150gr out of a 270 WSM and the 168 Berger out of a 7mm is not what everyone makes it out to be, they both make it to a 1000yrds at about the same speed. The 270 gets there with less MOA in elevation but you have a little more in wind deflection. The 7mm has a couple hundred more ft-lbs of energy. The 270 cal bullets function more reliable than the 7mm ones that I have shot or seen game shot with, I would always take a little lesser 270 cal over a 7mm on game just from what I see in terminal performance. If you can get your hands on the 169.5gr Wildcat bullets later this year when they come into production then there is nothing you can shoot out of a 7mm mag or WSM that will touch it in the 270 WSM. That being said the 300WSM is a solid choice also! [/QUOTE]
