[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1725038, member: 26227"] If you need a valid argument for not shooting a 7MM Mag I can not find one for you. I have never had so much BS tossed at me ever since I have built a 270 variant of the 7MM R/M. I am not a 7MM fan, not a 6.5 fan, or a 6MM fan. I like the older cartridges. I own 270's, 338's, 444's, 25-06's, 300 Win Mag, 45-70's, and some varmint cartridges. the only 6.5 I will ever own is a 264 Win Mag. now back to the 270-7MM R/M. it was so easy and when the dies came; they came with a note (WHY!?!) I wanted to ruin a perfectly good cartridge with an inferior slug. not going to repeat what I told the die manufacturer. I built the rifle to shoot the 170 grain VLD Berger slugs for long range deer, and all heavy slugs for the 270. I hope they make more selection for us 270 guys. I am hoping for a 175, 180, and 185 grain slug for the 1-7" twist barrels. Personally you like the 7MM R/M stick with it. new, shiny, and all that other stuff is for people that are not comfortable with what is useful. I might like your choice in chamberings but you like it and you use it well. it's like my 270's I use them well and they are effective. why change? [/QUOTE]
