I've narrowed my upcoming gun purchase down to 2 models.....and I THINK I've narrowed down my caliber choices to 2 also.
I'm looking at the .270 Win. or the 7mm. Rem. Mag.
I'll be hunting deer and hogs in East Texas. Shots wouldn't be excessivly long. Anywhere up to 200-250 yards, but most would be 100 yards or under.
I'm looking at "worst case scenarios" here....
If I was only hunting deer, my choice would be the .270, but I have a lot of hogs (some pretty large) in the area that I hunt almost year round.
So here's my question. Let's say I have a 250lb. boar standing at 150 yards. I have to make a fairly quick shot, and therefore don't have the time to wait for a head shot.....which leaves me needing to drive that bullet through the heart/lungs/grissle plate/scapulas of that hog.

If I have a .270 with a 130gr. Nosler Partition or Barnes X, am I going to see any difference than if I had a 7mm. Rem. Mag. with a 150gr. Partition or Barnes X.

The "logical" side of me says to just get a .30-06 and shoot a well made 165gr. bullet and be done with it.......but I obviously don't always listen to my logical side.

I'm hoping that some of you folks who have use both calibers on deer (as well as larger hogs) could give me some informed opinions about the "terminal" performance on that big hog......or if I should go seriously consider going with the 06'

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated
