Is that your norma mag jobbie?

Whatever it is, it's got somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3700-4000fps depending on how dumb the bullet choice is, and I wouldn't be surprised by anything

Like don't get upset if you've already got one, but there's literally no reason to buy one at all.

Ahh the world according to gimp... :rolleyes:
Well there is a reason to buy one actually. They smoke fucken animals, ive owned 2, and 2 different 270s and id take the 25 every time. Very tame recoil . Not every one needs to shoot past 300 or even 500. For a point and shoot caliber it is a very good one.

Cool except factory ammo is comparatively way less common than a heap of stuff, it's inefficient as shit to reload, it kicks basically the same as a 7-08 or whatever depending on bullet choice and more than a whole bunch of stuff, and doesn't actually do anything Better at close range and definitely doesn't do shit better at long range


I'mma hand this one over to Tussock, I've gotta go do stuff

Have you used one? Ive never had an issue getting ammo. Its common enough for the stores to have it and different enough that it doesnt all get snatched up. Man it just drops reds. May be more sentiment for me as every animal ive pointed a 25 at has died most instantly

FFS people give us shit for thread bombing buy simply taking the piss out of each other, but i dont know whats worse people trying to prove how fucken smart and know all they are or taking the piss it happens everytime certain people join threads..............probably all the fucking time!!!

My 270 is a short barrel, still kills fine out to around 400 yards but don't disagree that an 08 type would do the same.

Fyi, I can get about 2800 FPS out of a 140gr sst with an 18" barrel or 3000 FPS with a 110gr Barnes TTSX

And I don't have to tell anyone I own a 7mm08 even though the performance is probably better, but with a longer barrel I expect?

Absolutely.

Depends how 'long range' your idea of long range is.

If you launch a .270 140 Accubond at 3050fps they're still doing around 2000fps at 600 yards with about 1250 ft-lbs of energy so should open up just fine.

I've got a 243, 20inch barrel, gunworks suppressor. I am confident I can hit kill zone out to 300m with it but I'm more concerned about putting something down in the size of a red @ 300-350m max if necessary on a slope other side of a valley. On a recent trip I was on, a spiker was at 360m odd - 30deg uphill on a face, so I swapped to my mates 270 and guessed the holdover uphill. It went over it's back. I wasn't confident on a rifle I hadn't used at that distance. I want to keep the 243 for smaller stuff, and have another caliber for the bigger animals.

ive launched them at 3000 and pin holed through a red at 400

cough cough 280 remington

Enough bore dia to let the case breath properly (although often overloaded to try and pretend its sonething bigger)

I would suggest it does not need to exist.

That's why opinions are like arse holes.

700 rounds with those projectiles. Barrels as cheap really so what does it matter? Performance comes at a cost, and some people want more then a dribble out the end:)

If you have the .243 and you like it and your keeping it, then skip 270, as it has a lot of the antisocial characteristics but its not far enough ahead of the .243. Jump straight to 7mm and get a WSM or a SAUM or a 7mmRemMag. No worse to shoot than a .270 and a lot more potent.

Yep. Older one without TBR on it.

The only reason you need that much "performance" is if you can not be bothered learning how to shoot. You would just be getting familiar with the load and set up, I mean really familiar, then barrel off, start again. What a godawful pain in the arse.

Better to have something where the round "dribbles" out the barrel, and actually learn how to shoot it, than just waste money and barrels on something that rips its self to pieces five minutes after you put it together.

Lots of fearsome rounds about, that will tear an elephant in half and have good barrel life and are easy to shoot. Horribly overbore magnums are all kinds of pointless. What difference does it make how far you have to wind the elevation turret? Its completely irrelevant. Speed has very little influence on wind bucking ability, compared to BC. Better a slow moving super high BC big bore, you have a chance of growing familiar with before it disintegrates.

Pointless arguing with the man that's never wrong and your ways are set in stone.

It's like some some owning a performance car to a little Hondamatic its all personal choice, so who really cares?

That was 2 lands chases again what's the price of a barrel for performance and 700 was that one some more some less its alot of dead animals in a hunting rifle

If your selling them, and people are buying them, then people clearly disagree with me, and good on them.

Each to their own. I will point out, your the one whining someones opinion differs from yours.
