[QUOTE="Longtooth32, post: 1309413, member: 89326"] BJD, thanks again for the inspiration... Interesting part about our .277s...as I ran the conversions...it seems like 7mm=.276"...so are we actually running the true 7mm? Funny part about the speedier 270s...I waited over a year for one of the first Mausingfield, long action, mag face action...everything I read about the Mausingfield short actions were the cat's meow...I needed a longer mag box than my stock Mark V 270 Wby action to better utilize the longer .277 bullets... Ted, the owner of the American Rifle Company, who makes the actions...asked me what cartridge I was going to use with his long action (funny part about this, Ted, at the time, was running his company off his laptop)? I told him a 270 Wby. He was quiet and he just typed in my info...I think he was hoping one of his first long actions were going to a different cartridge... So with the longer mag box I was able to utilize most of the volume of the 270 Wby case shooting the 270 heavies... Who thought, with a cartridge older than me, that would push a year and a half old 170gr bullet to 3225 fps, pushed by RL26, with a huge jump to the lands...would work with a sub .5 MOA (well, I shoot mils)... You still have to try to get your gun to shoot the 270 (7mm?) heavies... [/QUOTE]
