[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2892993, member: 115190"] 270 wsm. With a 130 gr, my handloads are 3089 to 3178 fps, factory Federal vital shocks are 3300 fps, chrono'd. It's killed a cow elk at 100 yards, and many deer <200 yards, all one shot. It's so explosive at close range I don't use 130 gr vld-h or Nos BT's anymore, switching to a 129 LRX solid this year. Kicks like a 30-06. Nothings flatter shooting in a short action, that I can think of, maybe a 243 wssm idk. 6.8 western, no way, It only outperforms the 270 wsm past 650-700 yards with factory twist barrels because of the higher bc bullets, not case capacity. The 270 wsm is my go to rifle. Only issue at the moment is finding brass, but Peterson is going to start making it and 300 wsm in the future. According to them, I asked. The 300 wsm ain't a bad choice either, a world record was resently set with it, a 2.6" 10 shot group at 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
