I can see no reason that the 270 and 300 WSM would ever fall by the way side. There have been thousands already sold and in my area they are out selling all other cartridges. They deliver the sane performance in a much shorter action. Hor me personally, the 308 is all I would ever need. I mean the 308 and the other cartridges based on its casing. The 338 Federal would be the perfect bigger rifle for me. That would just be for Moose and the big bears even though the 308 would probabbly also do it all.
James, while we are sitting here argueing, you seem to remain calm, and point out the truth, maybe I need to just let you post instead of jumping in. Because, you know what you are talking about.

I'd go for the .308 also. Or maybe a 7mm-08. In reference to the .308, why would you need to "handload it up some"? A .308 is good to go on whitetails out to 400 yards or so.

Same here!;)

Here's a question. Since the allmighty .300winmag is such a great performer, and there isant a knats ass of difference between it and the .300WSM velocity wise, isant that a pretty good place to be?

It's kind of like comparing the .308 to the .30/06, only with closer ballistics.
it isn't so much the performance, its the fact that many people are downing the .300 Win Mag in favor of the new WSM, claiming that the Long Action .300 Win mag "sucks", and most of these people haven't even owned a .300 Win mag before, yet they are talking about all of the disadvantages of it, that gun magazines and the like, have come up with. I'd say Winchester has done a good job advertising, but, to say the .300 Win Mag is obsolete, is very stupid, to me. My point is, the .300 WSM does nothing better than the .300 Win Mag, and the .300 WSM does not make the .300 Win Mag obsolete.

well im guessing that ill end up getting a browning a-bolt in 308 win, or if i run across a tikka T3 hunter in 338 fed first and have the money in my wallet then it might have to come home with me insted. the 308 will probly do anything that the 25-06 might be considerd "light" for and then some, like elk and bear, and the 25-06 will do anything that the 308win might not have the flatnes and reach for. so with those two rifles i think i should be sitten preaty good for what im lookin to do,.........dont ya'll?

300wsm is the best short action round, ifyou don't want a wsm then get a 308 or a 7mm-08

I would go with 308 or 300 WSM, however I am in the process of selling my 308 because I don't shoot it since I got my 300 WSM. I like the caliber so much I bought it in 2 guns. Either will work for what your described uses.
