[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 338306, member: 505"] Some good info in there but you leave a wide gap to fill. Lots of choices. Unless you want to do a wildcat cartridge I would go 7mm wsm or stw. Just depends on how much power you want to go with. I have five 7mm stw's and a 7mm-300 weatherby.They are plenty fun to shoot at long range. These two are the top performance 7mm's you can get before you get into extreme barrel burners that I gave up on. The 7 wsm does not require a muzzle brake and is a pleasure to shoot. Will get you more barrel life than the last two I mentioned but not near the performance. It also is cheaper to reload. It just depends on how much performance you are looking for. If you want to take a giant leap over your 270 or just a little step. Here are some accuracy loads to consider in the big 7's if this will help. 7mm-300 wby best accuracy load with the 162 A-max was 3440 fps using 7828 powder. This is a very flat shooting excellent long range load. Best accuracy load with the 7 stw was 3330 fps with the 162 a-max using the same powder. Using the 175 grain sierra game king best accuracy loads were 3285 fps with the 7mm-300 wby and 3235 fps with the 7stw. I have taken elk over a 1000 yards with the 7mm-300 wby 175 grain load.
