[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1531347, member: 103947"] It's just tough comparing apples to oranges. The 270 is my favorite deer caliber out to about 350-400 yds. The 130 grain bullet never exits I always find it on the opposite side of the body under the hide. The deer gets all the energy and I've never had one take a second step after he's been hit. It's just tough to beat the superior ballistics of the 7 mm bullets available today. Berger definitely hit a home run with the 130 150 and 170 in the 277 caliber. I have a friend who built the 270 WSM to use the 170s for shooting 1000 yds. The setup does phenomenally well but at that range when I'm shooting 180s from my 284 at a 3000 fps, it outperforms his setup in both drop and wind. Also the accuracy of my 284 is far superior to his 270 at those longer ranges. Guessing why you don't see many 270 WSMs in 1000-yard matches. [/QUOTE]
