So you're shooting deer. Eastern woods or western mountains? Are you going to try for the big deer (elk and moose)? No one will fault the .270; the wsm flavor is faster with less track record. But since you asked, pick up one of the major brand reloading manuals and read their cartridge descriptions. Not the final word, but generally some good insight. The late Don Lewis, who wrote the gun column for the PA Game News, made the argument that 7mm is the "optimum" bore for a hunting rifle. Just pick your longest shot and match it to case size. Many here, myself included, are liking the 6.5, but there are fewer caliber choices in that bore. By the way, why did you drop the .300 WM?
