Second place would be my 375 BME. It will never cycle through a short action but I run it on a short action single shot. That counts right? :chuckle:

Apparently neither am I! Own a 270wsm but, my old model 700 adl 308 that I bought in 1984 has taken a lot of deer and elk. Many I have forgotten about until I pick it up and then the memories come back one at a time. Only had to shoot one deer twice. Both round same hole with two exit holes. Dead on the first shot but, since it just stood there looking at me I shot it again.

I feel like Amy Farrah Fowler. Always wanted to hang out with the cool kids. Now, thanks to Hunt-Washington, I can :whoo:

But the 270 WSM is really cool, too.
Just to add another flavor to this, I'm currently working up a load for a 325wsm shooting 200gr Barnes TSX. So far it is very promising. Tried the 160gr. TTSX and those shoot very well and very fast. What's not to like?!

.358 Winchester or .325 WSM for me deer don't take a step after getting hit with either one in my experience. I have taken two mule deer bucks at over 300 yards with the .325 using winchester 220grn power points and a leupold 2.5-8x36 and had surprisingly very little hold over.
Just a touch over 7" for me using 200 grain Accubonds.
