In my opinion get what you want, I personally would not be happy with something that someone else reccomended if it wasn't what I wanted. If you want a 270wsm get a 270wsm, if you want a 7mm get a 7mm.
I am not a long range shooter, the longest shots I have taken are with my 270 win at 500yrds but I believe that the important thing is knowing your gun and how it shoots. If you know this and the gun is reasonably accurate you should be fine. Once I had the drop figured out on my 270 I was hitting the gongs regularly at 300 & 400 yrds and grouping about 8 inches at 500, not much by some peoples standards but with a range finder and a good rest on a calm day I would be fine on deer out to 400+ yrds.
