How come? Did you end up using the 270 wsm earlier and decided not to bother load development with the 7mm rm?

I know that lol.

I went with a 7 Rem Mag as I already had Redding dies.

If you can’t decide, combine the two and get a 7mm-.270 WSM
Much better range of projectiles with better BCs (if that matters to you).

.......or a 7mm-.300 WSM if you want a longer neck.
You could build a shorter, lighter, more efficient rifle than a long magnum.
