ORIGINAL: 7MM.REMINGTON.MAGNUM

hmmm this is verry interesting but thats factory right what would happen if we handloaded both say shot 150 grainers i think we could get the 7mm mag to outperform the 270wsm. am i right? i just am haveing a hard time seeing that the 270 msm cant be beaten by the 7mm mag in 150 grain area theres no doubt that the 7mm kills the 270 wsm in heavier bullets i have seen listings for the 7mm mag just under 4000 fps i cant remember if it was 150 grain bullets or if it was 164gr but what do you guys think
Methinks you are whistlin' Dixie here! The 7mm Rem Mag. MIGHT be able to produce "just under 4000 FPS". But that would be with 50, and not 150 grain bullets!

My 26" 7mm Maggie can do over 3300 with a 140-grain bullet, and I have gotten 3420 with oneparticular lot of Norma N205 powder which is long departed. No currently available powder in this country will do as well as that old N205 did.
