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.

Without hesitation, he turned, passed the rifle to me and pulled his 8 1/2 " 44 mag, shooting it in the head. Extraordinary day...Quote:

Tested 2 loads today and was very pleased with the results.

So I tested the Federals with R19 and got 3270 fps and .5 groups @100. Then shot some 129 LRX (R26 powder) into the same .5" group - 32770 fps. I have enough R26 left for about 25 reloads.
So I have 2 good loads that shoot into the same .5" group at the same velocity with 2 powders. The BC difference between the 2 projectiles isn't worth worrying about out to the max ranges (525 yds) I shoot too. Its an xbolt with 22" barrel.
Happy camper, and Steve's Wholesale the agent for R26 powder tells me its due here in September. Ive got a good stock of R19. Happy camper.
Awesome bro! Looking forward to your experience on game with the federals. Cheers bro
32770fps.... now thats moving
Thats why the oldtimers all say they are flat shooting ;):thumbsup:Quote:
