[QUOTE="elktaker, post: 1134674, member: 86786"] I am running 7mm wsm and pushing 168gr Bergers at a little over 2900. I could push them much faster but they are accurate and I would like to save my barrel and expensive fireformed Norma 300WSM brass. Sighted 1.5" high at 100 puts at point and shoot for elk out to 325ish and 14.4 MOA out to 800 YD. The light bullet only holds 1500 fl-lbs. I prefer lighter recoil, but after 600 yards 300 seems to take over. I could switch to a 180 but I had my barrel custom throated for 168's at mag length and touching lands. 180's would never fit in the case without taking up all the capacity. 270 WSM is lacking in bullet selection. I would move up to a 300 or .284 or if you want to stay small 6.5's bullet selection is good, but barrel life may suffer. [/QUOTE]
