I'll go against popular response and say 270 WSM. I am a HUGE fan of the browning 270 WSM. I say this, because although there is nothing wrong with the 257 wby mag, you can load larger grain bullets in a 270 wsm and achieve great ballistics.
I'l say it time and again for hunting deer and moose in Alberta, this is a great calibre.
Even so, I will tell you I hit a large white tail in the perfect spot in the boiler room and he kep going for 5 hours. Shooting a 130 grain barnes TSX.
All I'm saying, I believe you get a better choice with big game in alberta with this calibre.
When comparing ballistics look at both velocity and energy transfer.
270 wsm is not vanilla, maybe the neopolitan. trust me a good 270 wsm is not to be compared to a 270 rem.
