Congrats on sticking with it! Well deserved accomplishment!

No need to do the 6.8 thing if you had multiple 270WSMs. I love mine. So yes you need a 7mm. I wouldn't go 7prc if you are a reloader, yes it does have the clicker issue as do all the prc's. If you are just buying ammo you are fine but the ballistic's do not impress me. I have 280ai, 7mm rem...

I am using N560 as well with my 6.5PRC's and the 125 MBCR. My rifles show the clicker issue pretty early as I end up at 56gr with one and 54gr with the other, 3150fps and 3080fps. Setup a temp table(Kestrel) for the loads and you should be good to go.

Here are the 3 Wyoming elk I took in 2023 with a 7mag 160gr CRMF 3125fps, all shot right around 200 yards, all pass thru double lungs. The rag bull was high shoulder and dropped in place. The 2 cows both thru the ribs ran 40 yards.

270WSM 128gr CRMF 3300fps 95yds 1shot Entered point of shoulder, broke leg joint, 2nd rib, exited breaking 4th rib. This little bullet can do it.

Welcome Sam! Will post up my field reports as they occur!!

The Mcguire Ballistic's 143gr Copper Rose would be awesome in a 7mm08. I use them in my 280AI going 3170fps with rl23. Have harvested antelope, mule deer, and cow elk with them. You just need someone to reload for you at this time.

I am running Retumbo in my 24" barrel 7 rem mag with 160 gr Mcguire Ballistics copper rose at 3125fps.

I hunted ARRO last Sept for sheep, caribou, and moose. Since no helicopters here, we did lots of hiking and packing. I used the Crispi Hunter gtx 12" high boots (has 200gr insulation), 4 flex. Was perfect for all the creek crossings, heavy packs, and talus fields. Came home with all 3 and only...

My Nosler m48c in 270WSM liked 150 VLD with 67gr Magpro (3106fps) and it loves 66.5-66.9gr H4831SC with the McGuireBallistics 128gr copper (3270-3304fps) both of these with Nosler brass and win WLRM primers.

in my experience with both in multiple calibers, the WLR gave me more velocity than the 210, the 210 probably will get you better ES (consistency).

Very good bull for the conditions last week. Congrats! I remember that trail and camp!

I have the kimber mtn ascent in 280AI with 24" barrel. I get 3170fps with the 143gr Mcguire ballistics(MB) bullet, 3080fps with the 160gr MB, 2950fps 160 Accubond. Using 58-59gr RL23. I too have looked at the BackCountry 2.0 in 280AI as well, waiting for the Kimber barrel to go south.

Will pass that request on to him, would be a much longer bullet and may require a faster twist.

I will add that I harvested an Alaska/Yukon moose with the 270 128gr this fall with a single shot. Was really impressed with it's terminal performance. Bullet entered at point of the shoulder where front leg bone meets the shoulder. It broke the leg bone, deflected downward, broke 2nd rib...
