I have a marlin 30 30, thats what i've been hunting with for a while now. I joined a new hunting club this season and the longest shot i'll probaly ever get to squeeze off will be about 250. Most of our lease is cutovers etc. I'll be bow hunting the hardwoods. How far can you reach out with the 7mm 08 and still have some good punch to it? I've been considering a 30 06 7mmremmag 280
For many years there was no real .270 family of cartridges, only the original .270 Winchester and a couple of wildcats. Winchester created the .270 by simply necking down the .30-06 case to accept .277 inch bullets. For many years it was the high velocity king of commercial big game rifle cartridges. The .270 Winchester was (and is) so good at being a combination long range and all-around cartridge that perhaps no other cartridge in the caliber was necessary. Given the powders available in 1925, the year of its introduction, perhaps no better long range cartridge was possible.
