[QUOTE="Akredneck, post: 2500569, member: 120339"] I am having a hard time understanding why people are shooting heavier bullets in say 270 180gr woodleigh bullet vs stepping up to say a 7mm 175? Or 300win 250gr bullet vs going 338win 275gr? Heavies are going to have more drag on the barrel also increase pressure, with modern bullets the BC can be found if you look for right bullet. Also felt recoil would be an issue shoving big pill down the barrel at least for hunting rifles. My bench gun would probably not budge at 17#. Just trying to understand this trend I am seeing. Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
