[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2299465, member: 71817"] Quite a while back I had Cooper put together a Model 52 in 270 Weatherby Mag. Quickly and easily developed a load for it and it shot great and took some game. I always shot heavy for caliber bullets so this rifle had a bit of recoil and muzzle blast was unpleasant for the shooters right and left of me at the range. When that first shortage happened just before Obama's election one of those guys at the range pointed out the numbers in a Lyman reloading manual that my 270 weatherby mag offered about 5% better performance than a 270win. Belted magnum cases got scarce and were expensive anyway. The magnum took more powder per round. I was seeing 270win components around so I sent the rifle back to Cooper and had it converted to 270win. Never regretted that decision even a little bit. Back then mono bullets were new kids on the block. I don't have a fast enough twist rate to shoot them. If I do my part I can make 1 moa at 200yds with nosler partitions and AB's. Swift scirocco's shoot great from it as well. It's accounted for 28 out of 29 one shot kills from 125yds out to 650yds. I couldn't ask for anything more. I agree, the 270win is the Rodney Dangerfield of calibers, it gets no respect. [/QUOTE]
