I was looking through my Fed. Ammunition catalog for possible long range calibers, as I have my short range shooter. I came upon this 270wsm round, never been a fan of the 270s for whatever reason, but zeroed at 200 the trajectory of this round according to Federals numbers is great. From 110gr. tipped Triple shock x bullets to 150gr nosler partitions, and fusions, zeroed at 200 the drop out to 500 is between 30 and 36" for every one of the 9 rounds listed.

What I am looking at for bullets that will beat that are the 243, 220 swift, 204 ruger, this is again looking at their data for sighted in at 200, and looking at the drop at 500. I am looking at these numbers because I want a longer range shooter. I like the idea of this 270 wsm over these smaller rounds because of that, it is a bigger round, a little extra weight thrown down range for a bit more stopping power. I've owned a 243, these smaller rounds just don't appeal to me for whatever reason...

I also like the idea of the 270 short over the 7mm or 300 shorts because I'd like a bit less bite in this rifle. I think this may be a "best of both worlds" caliber for me, not that magnum bite, but not the drop in power of the lighter rounds.
If you are wondering why I am looking at Federals ammunition, it is because I have a brother that works there.

Rifle I was looking at was the Winchester Model 70 Coyote Light, looked at one the other day and for a good sized rifle, it felt great to me, light enough to carry.

So, Ideas or comments???? I don't reload, and getting ammunition for great prices keeps me in the federal line. Another rifle I was looking at was the Rem 700 sps tactical in 308, I've read reports of the accuracy on this gun and that is what turned me on to it, but the trajectory of this 270wsm has me pondering.

Any help is appreciated, thank you
 
If you decide you'd like to have one, there is a guy at work that was trying to sell me that exact rifle yesterday. I'll ask him for more info if you'd like.
 
Ok if you want fast and flat you need a 257 wby

But the 270 wsm is no slouch as it does carry more energy out a little farther dont shy away from heavier loads either.

It is also a a pleasure to shoot I had basically the same rifle in 270wsm and 7mm mag and the 7 mag kicked my butt while the wsm was a real pleasure to shoot

And the short time I had the 270 wsm it killed 3 deer and one bull elk and I only sold it to get the money to get my 257 wby

I think it is as close as you can get to an all around big game rifle
 
I have the coyote laminate stock version and its a accurate rife to shoot. I have it in 300wsm and love the gun. I wanted a 270wsm but couldnt find it locally. I say go for it the rifle is nice and the caliber is awesome and if you dont relod you can get ammo easily and cheaper than the weatherby.
 
I have a 270wsm in a model 16savage and totaly love it.It is my favorite rifle I own light a handles awesome.A have killed deer with out to 466 yds With no problem.For white tails I load 130gr accubonds and have never had one take more than 1 step after they where shot.
