[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1153619, member: 6330"] .300 wsm has the same ballistics as the old .300 H&H magnum. I believe .300 Winchester Magnum still holds the most 1000 yard records. But these were set with custom target rifles with 28-30+ inch barrels, not sporter rifles. I agree if going on a trophy elk hunt that a 30 caliber magnum is an excellent choice. However, a .270 is still an excellent choice for the lower 48. I have killed deer and black bear with a .270 Winchester; deer and caribou with a .308 Winchester. Deer, baboon, Impala, Gemsbuk, Kudu, Diker, Zebra, Wildebeest, and 4 Warthogs with a .30-06 but would have taken any of those shots with a .270. I did use a .375 H&H for the Cape Buffalo and Lioness, which is what I would use for moose. But I would love to have a Pre-64 model 70 in .270 Winchester. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
