RE: .270 WSM vs. .300 win mag
I have been hunting mule deer with a 270 for years and recently bought a 270WSM. A lot of the area where I hunt is open land. My friend hunts with a 300 win mag. He loses more meat than he should with that 300 win mag. A 270 WSM is plenty enough for whitetail but if you really plan on hunting bigger game I think maybe 7mm would be a better all around choice with less recoil and cheaper ammo than 300 win mag. Have you checked performance of 270WSM with 150 grain power points?
