Just a reminder that I'm looking for my boys (one 12 next year, the other a couple of years later). I already own a 7mm and use it myself, etc.

Also, I might be out in the night, but my research has shown that the 270 WSM is closer to the 7mm for performance than the traditional 270. This was done comparing the same 150 gr bullet in the 270's and the same brand/point in a 165 gr bullet from the 7mm. I was looking a Energy, Path and Velocity from a very reliable ballistics program I use when working up loads myself, etc.

Also, buying ammo is no issue. I reload everything for every rifle I own.
