RE: deer gun questoin
Congratulations. You made an excellent choice, and at any practical hunting range, you're not giving up anything by getting a .270 Win.rather than a .270 WSM. Out to 400 yards,a deer isn't going to know the difference. And, with the decreased ammo price, you'll be able to practice more and become more proficient. The only thing you're really sacrificing is excess muzzle blast and recoil.
