[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2812652, member: 106302"] When I started hunting 45 years ago, I caught the magnumitis bug and skipped over anything smaller than .308. In the last 5 years, the big magnums have started to kick more than they used to….. Several years ago I got the itch for dedicated deer rifles and ended up with a 270win and 270wsm in SS Tikka T3x flavor. I went with 130 Hornady Interlocs in the Win and 140 Accubonds in the short mag. The Win with 130s at 3100fps just flat hammers whitetail and mule deer. It wants for nothing. Interestingly, Ive recovered more 140 Accubonds (going 3200fps) than I have 130 Interlocs (these were on very large bodied deer shot through the shoulders). After using 7STW (shooting 160 Accubonds), 300wby (shooting 165 Interlocs), 338 and 340wby (shooting 210 partitions) for all big game the last 40years, I’m quite impressed with what .277 bullets can do. While I’d be content to hunt deer the rest of my days with a 270win, I must confess I think the 270wsm may be the best all around medium game cartridge I’ve used given the balance of velocity, bullet weight and modest recoil. I never saw that coming…. [/QUOTE]
