[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 1964945, member: 3622"] My take on that is some of the Ultra mags like the RUM did not have enough additional real performance to matter in the past. However, the faster twist barrels and heavier bullets combined have made the bigger rounds more sensible. For each caliber a guy just has to decide what is logical for him. But back to the 2 rounds we are discussing, I would love to see a really good comparison done between the 270 Wea. & the 270 Nos, using the best seating depth for both, with the same heavy for cal. bullets and the same pressure. As stated above the bigger rounds (both of these) can shine with the heavier bullets and a 1-8 twist or a little faster. As mentioned in an earlier post thou, you always have diminishing returns of course in any caliber, if that was all that matters (efficiency) then a 30 cal. shooter would shoot a 30 carbine case instead of a 300WM or 308 for that matter. So, you have diminishing returns as you move up the scale but at some point the diminishing returns increase beyond what is acceptable (a diff. amt. for diff. people) & you are not getting value added. That's why I doubt the 30-378 0r 7RUM will make the big time. Where that stopping place is for me with the .270 cal. is not clear to me yet. That's why I would love to see that comparison. For me, if the diff. is 100fps or less increase for the Nosler, it would not be worth it when you consider the lack of factory ammo options and potential avail. of brass in the future. I load my own but I want my Sons to inherit something they can buy ammo for. If the difference wound up being 200-250 fps (which I doubt) I would for the Nosler and risk the rest. [/QUOTE]
