[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 273477, member: 2693"] I second the 150 VLD if you ultimately choose the 270 WSM. I have an interest in this caliber and have for a long time, yet I would still opt for a 7mm if you are sure you'll be shooting at game beyond 700 yards regularly. My advice is go with a 7mm WSM if you are going with a short magnum and shoot a 168 or 180 VLd. I'll also add this: It is my opinion that the .277 bullets have had enough negativity surrounding them for LRH that I'm betting very few hunters have actually taken game at long range with them often enough to draw any conclusions. This is not including the 270 AM and the 169.5 gr wildcat bullets. If someone has actually hunted with, say, a 270 Weatherby Mag, or 270 WSM and killed big game at an avg distance of 800 yards, REGULARLY, then that would be a stat I'm interested in. To the best of my knowledge, Dan Lilja is one of the only hunters who's taken plenty of big game with his 30" bbl 270 Weatherby mag using 130 nosler ballistic tips. I guess the question you really want answered is how good is the 270 WSM on an elk at 1000 yards. I'd also like to know the answer to that. [/QUOTE]
