[QUOTE="BlackWhiskey, post: 672293, member: 50599"] I'm considering options in 270 WSM and 7mm Rem Mag now (both braked). I know that they are very similar with regard to trajectory, but the 7mm Mag is able to sling heavier bullets which I assume would make it more effective at further distances on larger game. This does, however, produce more recoil, but I think with a brake it will be manageable. Is there any advantage to the 270 WSM over the 7mm Mag that I am not taking into consideration? Also, is it reasonable to attempt to take elk at extended ranges (600-800) yds with the 270 WSM? Thanks again for all your help and input. [/QUOTE]
