[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 229328, member: 2736"] Of the 4 choices you mentioned My vote would be the 7 WSM "BECAUSE" 1= The 7 WSM is equal to the 7 rem mag in horsepower. 2= The 7 WSM will work in a short action making the overall length of the Rifle shorter with a 24'' barrel as apposed to the long action required by the 7 mag or the 300 win mag. 3= The 7 WSM has better ballistics than the 308. 4= Also the 7 WSM in a 10lb rifle produces 19.1 ft/lbs of recoil (Compared to 27.7 ft/lbs recoil of the 300 win mag in a 10lb rifle and 24.1 ft/lbs of recoil of your 270 win in a sporter weight of 7.5 lbs). 5= The 7 WSM also works real well with a 160gr accubond for ELK and the 140 works well for deer size game. And if you want to get crazy you could use 100gr or 120gr and get 3400 to 3500 ft/sec velocity for varmints. Just a few comparisons. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
