I haven't owned a 270 but I had a 7MM RM for several years and killed a lot of deer with it. I traded it when I got tight for money a few years back and wish I hadn't.

I prefer the 270win. The 7mm mag has target bullets with better BC but most hunting bullets it's apples to apples and the 270 can get up to speed if your a handloader or choose some premium factory loads.

deer can't tell the difference, basicly .007 difference in bullet diameter and 150 fps MV

case design, nothing off the 06 case is used in competetion anymore, 308 case and offspring killed the 06 case..
So accuracy is one differene, my exp with the 270 is it lacks it.
not saying the 7 mag is a 308 based case, just saying the 06 case aint on par with others, 7 mag included.

my most accurate rifle uses a 270 as the parent case, the reasons the '06 based cases aren't used much in competitions has nothing to do with accuracy, the 6.5 Gibbs, 6.5/06, and its AI'd brother have won its they're share of 1000 yd benchrest comps and they are all based off the '06.

For the same reasons ridgerunner says I'd go with the .270. IMO the little extra you get in MV and ME isn't worth the extra amount of powder, recoil and muzzle blast. True the 7 mag does have a slight edge with bullet selection and just a tad better as an elk cartridge. But for deer, no practical difference. And for anything larger than deer, I prefer a min of 30 cal.
