   I love my short barrelled 300wsm. I’m of the thought that short and thick does the trick… long and thin goes too far in!

   +1 for 300WSM, very managable recoil for mine with a maniatis suppressor/brake combo. The biggest downside is factory ammo availability, there was only 1 shop in the region that had any, which sold...

   Couldn’t help myself, if we’re doing ballistics.. this is the 7prc with a 20” barrel, 175 berger elete hunter starting out at 2800, and a 180 eld-m starting out at 2750. Moderate speed, I could get a...

   I went with a 7mmRM as a second rifle. At the time my main gun was a 7mm08 and i wanted more hitting power for open country. The rem mag has been excellent but you also need good optics to go with...

   I’d look at a 7RM or 300WSM, particularly if not reloading. If you are reloading then it opens up a lot more options as mentioned. 300WM is just a lot of gun. 7 PRC will be cracker if they come out...

   Mate, id just get a decent scope and load sorted for the 270 if not already and use the rest for ammo. i comfortably push my 270 to 800 yards on deer using 150 Berger's but the ranges you mention you...

   Nobody has mentioned the mighty 7mmWSM, I’m feeling left out :( But yeah, not the best option if you don’t reload. Even if you do it’s a pain to get brass. I agree with Jus re. 7mm being ideal...

   With the development of modern slippery bullets and faster twist barrels on factory rifles I can see the writing on the wall for the big magnums in all but specialised use. There's a general trend...

    If I do it again I would stay either 300wsm or 300wm. I'm a suckered for 30 cals. Below is what the 200g ELD x was doing out of my rifle. 241739

    This ^^ The likes of 300WM/300WSM/7RM can be made to work incredibly well if your handloading / doing a custom rifle, but in factory form using factory ammo, with the larger cals your dealing with...

    All 3 cartridges you've described will be more than adequate along with several others. Pick the cartridge you like the look of, you don't tip ugly strippers.

    Jeez this could go on forever! But hey I'm here now so....... 7mm PRC. Less recoil than the 30 cal variants, accurate, with good factory ammo available. The 6.5's will get you where you want...

    I would look into 300prc or 7mm prc. Only drawback is they are new thus not as abundant.

    7rum But 270 should easily do 600m 7is ballistically supposed to have more scope , they are load with a fair bit of recoil on a light frame , check your eye relief. ;)
