    How far out do you intend to shoot? If under 400 yards, just stick with the .270win? cheap enough to buy ammo if you don't want to reload, and if you do, there are a few good bullet options now with Berger, Nosler, etc.

    Otherwise, the 7mm RM is hard to beat. Sure the 7mm SUAM is great too, but you are stuck with a caliber that requires you to reload for and you can't get the brass as easily, or the dies for that matter. Depending on what rifle you pick action length would be the same, e.g. Tikka, etc.
