[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 366982, member: 307"] jb, The .270 Short Mag is a great cartridge. I think it has more to offer, in caliber, than the other two short mags. I had one in the Win70 Coyote but traded it for another rifle. I have compared the ballistics on it and it is closer to the .270 Weatherby than the .270 Winchester. If you compare the .270 Weatherby to the 7mm RemMag you won't see alot of difference there either. What this means to me is that the .270WSM is close on the heels of the 7Mag with only .007" of bullet diameter. There's not an animal alive that will know the difference. Some say the .277 caliber suffers from lack of bullet selection. How many does a person need to shoot? Stick with the 140 or 150gn AccuBond or Berger VLD and watch the bang-flops! Good shooting :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
