[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 944525, member: 12995"] If you are comfortable with the .270's recoil, you should look into a .280 Ackley Improved. It will push a 168gr 7mm bullet to within around 150 fps of what a 7mm RemMag will, with just slightly more recoil than your .270 Win. It's also a great whitetail caliber. The WSM calibers seem to recoil pretty sharply, and have about the same recoil as their full-length magnum counterparts. They also hold just as much powder, and push the same velocities. I have often wondered just why they were ever invented in the first place? Seems pointless to me. But I've also never been a fan of short-mags. The only short-mag I would own would be a 6.5 SS, which is a wildcat cartridge invented by one of our members on here. [/QUOTE]
