[QUOTE="budlight, post: 91987, member: 2939"] Abinok. I don't know the case capcity of all the short magnums. I do know that the 270 WSM can hold @10 more grains the standard win 270. I do now that when my now sold 7 mag was blowing the primers out, it's still 100-150 fps slower than a my 7stw and the 7 STW is not even stressing the cases. I do know that the same could be said about the 300 WM compared to the 300 ultra or my 30-378. So my point would be there is no real reason to buy a 7 mag or a 300 wm today. I also don't see higher BC in 7mm commom hunting bullets over the 30 cal. I only shoot 175 SBT's out of my 7STW. Sierra lists them at .533 The 200 grain 30 cal SBT is listed at .560 I'm pretty sure that the 30 Utra mags can get a 200 going the same velocity as a 175 grain 7mm So the 30 cal is a faster flater shooter than the 7mm [/QUOTE]
