[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 797488, member: 41442"] I see comparisons like this all the time on the internet. Take one round and load it to the point primers are flattening and then take a more powerful round and load it to 50k and compare them. Load both to the same presssure your loading that 270 to get those kinds of velocitys and if you still have your eyesight see what your chronograph says then. Guys do this all the time comparing the 308 to the o6. Show 60k loads for the 308 and 50k loads for the 06 and claim there equal. Bottom line is a 264 loaded to the same pressure as a 270, using modern slow powders and 140 grain bullets and the 264 will spank the 270. Just as you would suspect it should using over 10 or more grains of powder. Its no differnt then claiming a 280 is equal to a 7mag. I had a #1b ruger 280 with a 26 inch barrel that would push a 140bt to 3200 fps with a (warm) load. That was about the same velocity i got out of the 7mag bdl i had at the time with factory 140s. Does that make the 280 equal to the 7mag? hardly. Add two more inches to my bdl and load that 7mag to 60k plus pressure and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
