[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 665056, member: 13632"] Your 270 bullet data is old, we now have a 165, 170 and 175gr bullets with BC's ranging from .650 to .703 and all can be pushed over 3000 fps in a 270 WSM with a 26-28in barrel. My dad is shooting a 6.5 that pushes the 140 Berger 3200ish fps and it will not match my 270 WSM with 165's at long range shooting them side by side. The 170 Berger is just getting the kinks worked out but once on line I'll have a bullet with a .703 BC that I can easily run in the 3050fps range which the 7mm WSM won't run with it even with a 180 Berger so the reality of the situation is right now the 270 WSM has some of the best ballistics for long range hunting in the WSM line!!! I killed a bull at 865 yards EASY with my 270 WSM and 165's this year and from putting the best 6.5 bullets on game vs the best 270 cal the 270 easily out ranges it but the 270 and the 7mm are very close but if I'm going to shoot a 7mm I'm going to shoot something that will launch the soon to be released 195 Berger 3000-3200fps which will be an actual improvement over my 270 WSM.
