[QUOTE="rjb, post: 7866, member: 1145"] Just for point of reference i.e. 270 WSM VS the good old 270 Win. I was loading up for forth coming hunting season last night. I found in Hodgdon's 25th edition (pre WSMs) .270Win load of 58.0 gr H4831 & 150 gr bullet yeilding 3015 fps (yippee). I also browzed through Hodgdon's 2003 reloading manual and (for some strange reason) found they now list .270 max at 55.7gr H4831 and 150 gr. wt bullet at conservative ~2800 fps. AND here the kicker, The "New and improved 270 WSM is now listed showing 60.0 gr H4831 max. with same 150 gr wt. bullets and turning in only ~2940 fps. (manuals are eleswhere now) So it appears I can stay with my good Mod.70 in .270 Win. An genuine imatation Jack O'Conner combo and if loaded using manual from few years back beat the new wippersnapper [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] All the Hype seems to be doing is selling new gear to new hunters. rjb [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [ 12-05-2003: Message edited by: rjb ] [/QUOTE]
