[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2373770, member: 14204"] I am not sure why you compare two different calibers (.284 vs. .277) and chambering and expect the same performance - apples to oranges. In addition, one cartridge is for a long action (7MM RM) and the other short action (6.8 Western, parent case .270 WSM). 6.8 Western vs. 270 WSM is a closer comparison (apples to apples), same caliber but different chambering; both designs are for a short action. [ATTACH type="full" alt="6.8 Wester vs. .270 WSM.jpg"]321943[/ATTACH] The current factory offering for the 6.8 Western is 1:8" twist and 1:10" for the .270 WSM. "IF" the .270 WSM is offered in the same barrel twist rate to stabilize the longer/higher BC bullets, "I" would take the .270 WSM. Depending on the source, the case capacity is 74.0g for 6.8 mm Western compared to[B] [/B]78.6g for the.270 WSM. [/QUOTE]
