[QUOTE="endofadirtroad, post: 1287241, member: 100590"] You are really talking different rifle builds when comparing 270 WSM to 270 Wby and 7mm RM. The 270 Wby and 7mm RM are excellent performers as far as energy and trajectory, but are Long Action Magnum rifles, compared to the 270 WSM which can be built on the Remington Model 7 action. Remington Chambers the 300 WSM in the Model 7 which is sub 7 lbs out of the box with a 20 inch barrel. Custom version could possibly be made even lighter. Compared to a Weatherby Accumark which will be near 8.5 lbs, although they do make a featherweight version. Performance wise you can get pretty close to the large mag performance with the short mags, so yes, I would think it would be a capable sheep caliber providing you can get them to shoot accurately.
