[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 672427, member: 10291"] I have owned and like both cartridges. I use my 270WSM out to a max of 600-700 yards using the typical 130-150 grain loads. The short action is probably the advantage making for a more compact rifle. The 270WSM can be effective further out if you load a bullet like the 165 gr Matrix, but there are requirements for faster twist, seating depth, and magazine length that most of the commercially available rifles don't have. I would personally go with the 7mmMag at the longer ranges. Better ballistics, VLD bullet selection, heavier bullets, and not much of a difference in recoil, especially if you are using a brake.
