RE: looking for 270 for first deer gun
Even though you will have more ammo to choose from with the 270 Win., I would go with the 270 WSM. The ammo offered for the .270 WSM should cover all bases. The 130gr. and 150 gr. show a pretty good increase on velocity, but the 140 gr. is close to .270 Win. velocities with the same bullet. Good luck.
