.270 fans are in the marching band while the 7mm shooters actually played in the game...

30% more energy, 30 grains more bullet, 25% less drift, for less than 10 more grains of powder... but I guess if you throw in your fleuglehorn... then they're close to equal.By the way... nice uniform...

 How funny is that *censored*!!!! I don't own a Vette but have sports cars and love my 7mm. You are spot on JoshT!!!

Wow.  This is beginning to remind me of the near fist-fights we used to get into in high school over the .270 vs. 30-06 debate.

Doesn't matter... they both suck hind-tit to the 7mm Rem.

So if the best .270 is 7mm mag, then is the second best a .280 Rem?

I can tell you NOT to use the Rem 760 pump that use to be your grandfather's gun.

I was determined to be the third generation hunter to take a deer with that gun but it was old and shot for sh*t. After missing deer for four years I finally took a decent whitetail. I told my dad that FINALLY three generations had takend a deer with that gun. He informed me "I never got a deer with that gun. It shoots for sh*t."

Thanks dad. Could have used that little bit of info when you gave me the gun.

Holy cow, this post (argumnet) is still going on.
So from what im reading my Choice was the Captain of the team who drove a sports car and dated the prom queen.
The post says "Best .270" not best close to .270 or my cartridge can beat up your cartridge.
My choice like before .270weatherby, beats all the others hands down.
Even the 7mm mag, now suck on that..

.270 Roy is the 7mm's bitch... always has been... always will be. Same case, better bullets in 7mm... how can it be better?

But does it beat the .270 WSM??? BTW - ballistically, the .270 Roy does not beat the 7mm Rem mag.

 

edit - Josh beat me to it........

[Buckmark]

HMMM, good bullets avail for both so that is no argument, depending on the load and bullet the .270 roy will be and is the fastest .270 and has less bullet drop across the board, so no the .270wsm is not as good.
And as far as the 7mm mag, thats a whole different story, remember this is the "best .270" post..
But just for kicks the .270 roy has less bullet drop for comparable bullets and weights, I know it sucks being the bridesmaid..

You'd know... you shoot the bridesmaid.

140 vs. 140... out of the Nosler Book

.270 Roy = 3293 (best load) and the .270 140 NBT has a BC of .456
7mm Rem = 3340 (best load) and the 7mm 140 NBT has a BC of .485

On what planet does that mean "less bullet drop for comparable bullets and weights"?

Where the 7mm Rem really shines is with the 160 Accubond... that bullets turns it into an absolute beast the likes of which can't be equalled untill you step all the way up to the .300 Winny.

Just for arguements sake, just cause most folks don't reload, a large percentage I'm guessing, I looked up some factory loadings.

Hornady Light Magnum 270 Win  140 BTSP 3100 Fps -36.6@ 500  17.1'' drift @500

Hornady Heavy Magnum 7 Mag 139 SST 3250Fps  -33.5''@ 500   17.2'' drift @500

 All this from a shorter snout, less blast, recoil, lighter gun, etc. Any monkey can spin a turret....... Just sayin..
