[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 612393, member: 13632"] A properly loaded 270 WSM is about an ideal all around chambering, the only thing that throws it is including brown bear but most of use will never have the opportunity to take a brown bear or if we do it would be the kind of deal that I would buy a rifle specifically for that. I dig the 270 WSM loaded with Matrix bullets and the 338 RUM/Lapua/Edge with a 300gr OTM. At my elk hunting elevation my WSM hits 800 yards at 2152 fps with 1800 ft lbs of energy which is ample to wack and stack an elk with room to spare, my 338 RUM hits 800 yards with 2085 fps and 2800 ft lbs of energy. Both will blow an ample hole through an elk but the 338 does it with more flair and if big bears were consistently on the menu or the shooting over 1100 yards I would have a 338 in hand!! [/QUOTE]
