[QUOTE="Yakcountry, post: 2711435, member: 122542"] I'm a big fan of the 0.277 caliber. I've killed pronghorn, deer and elk with my 6.8 western and wouldn't hesitate taking a long shot on a black bear. Recoil is mild on my rifle with a muzzle break. I shoot 175gr bullets. 270WSM would work just fine on pronghorn to bear. If you're feeling lucky with a 270WSM, I'd seriously look into a faster twist barrel. It would essentially make it a 6.8W and give you the ability to shoot lighter (120-140gr) and heavier (175gr) 270 rounds. Granted, you won't find much/any factory 270WSM with heavy's, so reloading would be ideal. [/QUOTE]
