Didn't mean to start a whizzin match but are you pushing 180gr bullets at 3200fps out of your 270wsm??

My point was that the 300wmag out does everything that a 270wsm will do...plus bring in heavier bullets that are not made for the 270.

CRUSH was probably too strong of a word.....but you'ld be have a pretty tough time finding any category that the 270 is equal to or better than the 300 (well, bolt throw I guess )
