[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1444759, member: 97196"] 270 WSM is a great caliber, especially if you select a 1:8 twist for the 170ish grain bullets. It will deliver 1500 ft-lb energy at 1000 yards; similar to a 300 WSM using 215 Berger hybrid target but with less drop and less recoil. The 180 and 195gr 7mm in the WSM will also deliver 1500 or more ft-lb at 1000 yards. These 3 WSMs are very similar in energy delivery down range when nearing full potential out to 1000 yards. If you extent the range the 7mm 195 EOL will start pulling away from the others. The 7mm WSM with the 195 EOL is simply a fantastic combination with a 1:8 twist barrel. We shoot all three but the 270 WSM is the most comfortable to shoot and will deliver at any reasonable range. [/QUOTE]
