    I think you will find the 270 is a bit more 'modern' than the 7x57.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Dunno why, I like shooting the 270 and I do not really give a shit what anyone thinks. People seem to run for the hills at the thought of shooting a 270 dunno why they are not that nasty to shoot, I will admit I used to cringe at the thought of shooting a 270 based on the hooplah of it being savage with the recoil till I actually picked up the balls to try shooting one haven't looked back to be honest and now I find myself jumping at the chance to fire magnum calibers.

    Think you will also find that a 140gn 270 pill will have a better BC than a 7mm pill of the same weight (assuming exactly the same brand/type).

    I have a Rem mod 700 in 270 that shoots well too, but a shoulder injury pushed me in the direction of the 7mm Mauser. Now I will have to sell one of them. Maybe.


    This is Rem Corelokt 130 gr
    And sorry about the large size again, I dont know why it does that.
