id push 140s through the wsm between 3100-3200 and never look back.
id never load 120s in either caliber. just not worth it.
i like the 280 but ive had some exsperince with the 270wsm. it likes 140gr bullets it plenty fast and acurate ounce get the right powder bullet combo for your rifle.
i will say one thing. if i had neither the 270wsm or the 280 id get the 3006.
but i do happen to have the 270 and 3006 and have had 270wsm. to me with the rifles i have the wsm fits in better.
you say antelope through mule deer. the way i see it if you hunt these your bound to hunt elk or larger sometime in the futer were 3006 will shine.
since your a reloder you can push 125gr bullets out there pretty good for deer or just load 150gr plastic tipped bullets at 3000. this would be plenty fast and flat for most any antelope hunt plus the 150s buck the wind alittle better.
but the idea of the 270wsm pushn 140 nos bts at long range with antelope in the sites is intrigueing, and one reason i keep getting more 270wsm reloading supplies even though i dont have the rifle.
its just a fun caliber to reload for and will shoot verywell and with the bullets avalable you can get it ready for that elk hunt your bounf to go on.

but then again the 3006 will do everything the 270win 280 and 270wsm will do plus some.
