[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 717504, member: 8394"] If your choosing between the two WSM's. I'd firmly suggest the 7 wsm, although bullet selection for the 270 is really taking off, there are still more for the 7. Also, bullet weights are going to be really close as it relates to recoil. The correlation of recoil is a combination of powder charge, bullet weight and velocity all over rifle weight (few things left out but the basic gist). As such a 150 from a 7 and a 150 from a 270 will recoil preceptably almost identical. .277 and .284 are really close in size unless your trying to burn a lot of powder in a short distance. I would think that the 7 would loose less fps in a short tube than the 270 with equal weight bullets. The variable of the factory ammo does put a different spin on it. Did a quick serch of miday, and they do not offer very much in the way of high b.c. factory offerings. The best looking one was the cor bon factory with the 180 vld. That would be the only true high B.C. offering for the two. [/QUOTE]
