So with all of this China sickness going around and it all you hear on TV show me your trophies you have taken with your 270 wsm and what bullet your using
Mine was a sako 75 Finnlight 270wsm. I shot 140 accubonds and rl17. Killed a bear, dozens of coyotes 3 bobcats and roughly 200 white tails, and a lot of steel. I loved that rifle. Only problem is I shot it way too much and after 4 years I could no longer get better than MOA out of the barrel. CRF and action prohibits chasing the lands... ~1400 rounds loaded hot with way to long of strings for such a skinny barrel. I have learned my lesson. I rebarreled with a krieger to a 7wsm and put it in a mcmillan stock. It is still my favorite rifle but I will Most likely be buying another Finnlight 270wsm soon. View attachment 189898
I like the 7wsm more than the 270 wsm just for the amount of high BC hunting bullet options.Nice setup I'm looking at building a 270wsm whenever I get a chance. How do you like the 7wsm compared to 270wsm. I've never been a great fan of the .284 bullets but I like the looks of the 270wsm in literature any how.
It's a krieger #5 on a sako 75 Finnlight action in a mcmillan varmint. Very odd that we picked the same camo patterns.
I agree on the high bc bullets, I'm in NY so it don't matter shots are under 500 yards here!!! Something about that 270wsm has my savvy where the 270 Win never hooked me.I like the 7wsm more than the 270 wsm just for the amount of high BC hunting bullet options.

That might be some of the most BS I've heard in a long time. Run the mass produced 27s and the mass produced 28s. It's no contest. The 28s have more high BC offering than the 26 cal too. I am here to tell you that In similar cases the 284 wins in every measurable category. 27 vs 28 nosler. 270 wsm vs 7wsm. 280 vs 270. The 27s lose in terminal and external ballistics. I love my 27s for hunting. But the twist rate is the down fall of the diameter and there's zero reason to handicap your self when both the 6.5s and 7s are better at LR.I have clear up through 190 grain .277 bullets. using a 29 inch barrel. The my twist is kinda max at the 175's. don't tell me about .284 having the BC edge. I shot competitively with a 7STW.
