[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2085629, member: 115190"] I used my 270 wsm load. A 130 gr Berger CH starting at 3089 fps vs a 6.8 western with a 170 gr Berger eol going 2835 fps. I looked up the 6.8 western pushes a 175 Seirra TGK at 2835 fps and used that. Even if the 170 goes 2850 to 2875 fps its still no better then the 270 wsm with a 130 gr at longer ranges and not as flat at 500 as the 270 wsm. The 6.8 western is as flat at 500 as the 300 wm or 7mag. After looking into this round more and running the #'s I am even less impressed. [/QUOTE]
