[QUOTE="Eric Alexander, post: 2068786, member: 89813"] that’s something to come to grips with: when is the extra 200 fps important? Where does it cross the threshold of real world experience so that you are persuaded to go magnum so you can own that difference? Not a rhetorical question. I’m going to put a 26” 1:8 twist barrel on my action. I can chamber it in 270wcf and learn about living with these new 165-170 bullets. Plan A. Then the extra 200fps option presents itself. Not much more work for the smith. Chambering is chambering. 270 Wby, WSM, Nosler, meh, just reaming. But now need new dies, brass, maybe diff powder, etc. ... I’ll have to open bolt face. Still not an overwhelming set of hurdles nor amount of money. But why, I asks. What are the circumstances that I will encounter that would justify the effort? A little less drop, a little more energy upon arrival? Like I said, ‘Where’s the threshold that overcomes the inertia?’. What persuades others to make the jump? More horsepower always better? oh, well [/QUOTE]
