I said it before and I will say it again! There ain't nothin' that a 160 grain 7mm Rem Mag cannot do..

Go with the 7 Mag, it is a happy median..

Somebody doesnt like the 30TC:-(

a 165 gr 30 TC will kill anything in North America but likeI said I like the 270wsm

Never said I didn't like the 30TC, just don't go giving it accolades that it has not earned or deserved. Will it ever be an 06, NO

I love the 30 caliber family but personally I would go with the 270wsm out of the two choices. I own an 06 but the 270wsm has alittle edge when you consider long range performance. I like the flattest shooting gun i can fire. I would also recommend the 300wsm. I just bought one 2 years ago and she is now my main squeeze.

I completely agree with you. I have one and like it a lot more than I thought I would. I use 150 E-tips for deer and 180 accubonds for larger game.

I don't have a lot of experience with a lot of calibers. I have a Win. Model 70 in 270WSM. It's the stealth or shadow model with ablack composite stock. It's a light accurate rifle, especially withhand loads. It's flat shooting and from my experience at 100yds or less will drop a deer in it's tracks with a shot though the vitals. At least with this lighter weight model, it's not particulary fun at the range but I am a lanky guy with not a lot of shoulder. Shooting some lighter charge hand loads could fix that some. I bought mine from Wallmart for 4 something I believe. It was a good caliber, quality gun for a small budget. I have upgraded to a Burris Shortmag 4.5-14 scope and love it.

The world record elk was shot with a 6mm back in the day, nobody here has talked about shot placement and the type of bullet that is being used, as far as a guides are concened they would rather have you bring and shot a gun / cal / that you are comfertable shooting and accurate with than something that your are afraid to shot, SHOT PLACEMENT KILLS,

This debate as to which is better between the '06 and the 270 has been going on for decades.And the 270WSM is very close to the 270 Win.But to keep within the topic of this post and as much as I like my 270 - if you are going to have only one rifle and your choice is between these 2 chamberings, I would have to suggest the'06. The versitility has to go with the '06. There are simply more choices in bullet weights and a bullet in the 165 - 180 gr. will take anything in NA. Although it wouldn't be my first choice for big bears.

skeeter 7MM

Of the 2 mentioned the 06'. However like already mentioned by others I'd also choose the 7mm rem mag over either for this application. I've used .277, .284 & .308 cals(among others) for deer to moose and the 7mm rem mag is one that keeps coming back into my mix for an all arounder. The 300 is a solid all around choice as well.

BTW,I reload,shoot med long range (500 yards) and hunt larger then deer annually. I formedthe aboveopinion based on my experience.

Good luck
