RE: 270 WSM
I agree if you're looking for a big bore rifle for large game. However as far as whitetail goes the .270 has been proven as one of the best around. I have even dropped 400+ pound black bear with mine.

RE: 270 WSM
I hate hearing how the 270 wsm is not a "big game" caliber. Its a matter of knowing your weapon, capability, and your ammo. I don't have any problem reloading a heavy bullet and using it for elk. The 270 wsm is perfectly capable of making a kill, it just takes one good ethical shot. I don't need to nock the thing off its feet. Overall it would make a good rifle for any situation, given the right ammo and shot placement.

RE: 270 WSM
I would like one for deer and antelope I don't think that it could get any better for that.

RE: 270 WSM
I can't wait to try mine out on deer this year!

RE: 270 WSM
I realy think the 270 WSM would make a kick a$$ deer/antelope gun,not saying if I was hunting high country mule deer and a bull elk walked out in front of me I would let him walk.If I had a tag he would be steaks.

RE: 270 WSM
I bought a savage model 14 in 270wsm. It's a nice rifle, but don't let anyone tell you it has less recoil.

RE: 270 WSM
You know we have to remember that you need to shoot in the right place. I have seen small Deer get lost after being shot with a 300 win mag with a 180gr bullet. If you can take them with a bow and arrow in the Ribs then most any rifle in the right place will do the job. Ever knock one down and then watch it get up and run when you sat your rifle down! ;)

RE: 270 WSM
WHy wouldn't the 270 WSM be a good Big game gun for moose, elk etc. when it has a tad more energy than a 7 mm and is even flatter shooting. It has quite a bit more energy than the 30 06 aswell.

RE: 270 WSM
I would never pick the 7MM WSM over the old 7MM Rem Mag. I wouldn't mind having a 300 WSM but I have five 30 calibers already. The 325 WSM Has me interested. But I would but the 270 WSM and take it elk hunting just to fuel EKM's next 270 topic.:D NO, I wouldn't go as low as the 223WSSM.;)
