[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1531062, member: 103947"] I'm a huge fan of both 270 cartridges as I own them and use them on game quite often. I can also buy the fact that the 270 WSM being a magnum does outrun all the other.284 cartridges shy of the 7 mm Magnum. I would however bet that the 284 Winchester with a 162 grain bullet comes real close on the heels of that 270 WSM with 150s. And that would be using the Nosler long range accubond 150 in the WSM vs the 162 Eld m. Again I'm a big fan of the 270s but you just can't beat facts. The higher BC 7 mm bullets simply beat of 277 bullets. I'll go out on a limb and say the 284 Winchester versus the 270 WSM is within 80 foot-pounds of energy. I'm guessing velocities are quite a bit different. Probably 200 to 300 fps different. I'm using an 800 yard range for these numbers. No reason to check the magnum at close ranges since Magnums are better designed for longer ranges and larger game. In this case the 270 WSM I'm guessing advantage being longer-ranges. [/QUOTE]
