[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1538507, member: 71039"] I switched from a 7 RM to a 270 wsm a couple years ago. Haven’t regretted it. My 270 wsm has a 3” shorter barrel and is about 1lb lighter. In equal weight bullets the 270 will have a higher bc and higher or comparable velocity in a shorter barrel vs the 26” barrel of the 7mm. The upside to the 7mm is that you can shoot heavier bullets out of it. I was chasing a lighweight mt rifle, so the weight of the rifle and the shorter barrel was more important than the ability to shoot heavier bullets. I don’t regret my decision. I shot the bull in my avatar at 431 with the hornady precision hunter 145gr eldx. Performance was awesome. Haven’t had a chance to poke something at 800 with it yet, so i can’t speak to that.
