[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1153463, member: 63138"] The 270 Win tops out at about 2,800 ft lbs and the 300 WSM about 3,600 ft lbs. so this is not apples to apples. The 300 WSM has significantly more power (and recoil). It also has a much wider selection of bullets available, especially if you hand load. The 300 WSM also held the 1,000 yard US record for group size for a time so accuracy can be very good. The 270 is plenty accurate though. If you think you might have bear, elk and moose on the menu at times I would go with the 300 WSM. If you are more likely to be chasing deer sized game most of the time I'd go with the 270 Win.
