The difference between a 7mm-08 shooting 140's and a .270 WSM shooting 130's is about 1" difference in drop at 400 yards.

With factory loads zeroed at 200 yards the difference is 7 inches.

With your requirement of a factory gun and a WSM I would shop around for a used Remington titanium mountain riflre in .270 win, have the action trued and barrel set back and re-chambered as a WSM. With the long action you could get the maximum out of the WSM and still be at 6 lbs.

Why would I want a long action..the idea is to reduce weight. Why not just buy a WSM to start with? I think it would likely be a lot cheaper in the long run and I'd end up with same or better results would I not.
