[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2373062, member: 103303"] There is one thing the 6.8 Western has over the 7mm rem mag - it can run in a short action. From a 'performance' standpoint, the 6.8 Western is basically a 270 win on a short action. The real benefit is fast twists for heavy bullets. That is something all 6.8 westerns will have that not all 7mm RM's have either. Many are 1-9.5" 270WSM is closer to the 7mm RM. Especially if both are on a long action. Twisted fast and throated for heavies, both will pull ahead of the 6.8 Western, which is, for all intents and purposes, a 6.8 SAUM... [/QUOTE]
