[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 722761, member: 13632"] I just got done wackn a bull with a 165 Matrix, closest bull I've taken with my 270 WSM at 400yards. First round took the top of his heart of and the second one rearranged his lungs. I have zero problem shooting elk out to a 1000 yards with a 270 WSM loaded with any of the better heavy for cal bullets. Shooting gongs with the 6.5 140 Berger at 3150 vs the 270 WSM with a 165 Matrix there is just no doubt which one packs the heat. The 7WSM or 7 mag is an even match with the 270 WSM. There are two solid 270 bullets in the 165 and 175 Matrix, the 170 Berger should come on line soon hopefully with a .703 BC and at least one other in the works in the 170 range for 4 bullets around or over .650 BC. Loading the 168 Berger in a 7mag and a 165 Matrix in a 270 WSM the 270 will out run the 7mag, you basically have to load the 180 Berger in the 7mm. So the reality is that the 6.5 or 7mm has no advantage on the 270. I shoot out well past a mile with mine and get excellent results and at 6200ft I have yet to hit transonic at 1890 yards. I have zero stability issues even with the 270 WSM even with the 175 Matrix in a 1-10 twist at 5600+ ft elevation. [/QUOTE]
