Looking at open country set up for next years thar and alpine hunts and open country.

Wondering whether to leave the 27 gang make jump from my 270 which is a shooter but ballistically close to the 7mm08 and head into to 7m rem mag territorty?

My personal max distance would be 500 yards. PB is about 400 so far. Is there really much in it for the extra recoil and noise, knock down power of a rem mag? or do I just load up some heavier pills and dial up or use a bdc? I have no experience with the rem mag or any mag or long range for that matter.

Appreciate your input. Cheers.

I went from .270 to 7mm STW...never looked back...I always reckoned the .270 booted the shoulder more...I was bush fringe shooting and that 7mm is so fast and flat
