[QUOTE="lovec_1, post: 304475, member: 15032"] Hi everybody,this is my first post here on LRH,i hope you´ll understand me,my english is not the best. (from Slovak Republic,Europe. lovec_1 stands for hunter_1 ). I have following problem: Want buy rifle for LR hunting/target shooting,no matter of brand,but with one of this two calibers: 7mm WSM and .270WSM. I have oportunities for shooting up to 1000 meters (approx. 1093 yds.). [U].270WSM:[/U] - positives: rifle easy to buy (Tikka T3 Varmint),available brass in Europe (Remington,Norma....),very good aftermarket stock (Roedale RCS) - negatives: small assortment of high BC bullets (only Berger´s VLD 150grs.), are there any other good choices? short factory barrel 23,5" [U]7mm WSM:[/U] - positives: possibility to use bullets with high BC (Berger VLD 168-180grs.), very important for me. - negatives: no rifle here... :-( , low availability of brass (only Winchester?), eventual necessary re-barreling from .270WSM,higher costs (new barrel...) But generally i am fan of 7mm WSM,with high BC bullets can out-perform many .30 calibers (except of ultra mags and some wildcats), and i think it provide better resistance against wind-drift then the .270WSM. Thanks for your opinions a recommendations. [/QUOTE]
