My 7mm-08 load for my Rem Mtn LSS is a 145Grn Speer SP (HotCor) pushed along at a chronographed muzzle velocity of 2,825. At 400 Yds it's still moving along at 2,085 FPS and 1,399 ft Lbs. Plenty enough for Texas whitetails.

Yes, the .270WSM is a lot faster and therefore a lot flatter shooting. I compensate by using a Burris scope with the Ballistic Plex reticle. I sight in dead on at 100 Yds and with the 145 Speer load I'm "almost" dead on (within an inch)at 200, 300 & 400Yds using the additional aim points. With the Ballistic Plex, trajectory is nolonger anissue; however, at 400 Yds the 270WSM is still packing 400+ more ft lbs of energy than the 7mm-08. I don't know if the additional ft lbs would make a deer any deader.
