Zrexpilot I know that was a 250 yard zero, you failed to look at the rest of the data. At 150 yard zero,it was right there with it. I am not saying it is better just not saying that it (7mmrm ) is that much better then the .270wsm with the same grain bullet. I am going to shoot my .270wsm aginst my brothers 7mmrm today ,we will give results from the chrony . I got to see my nefew shoot a coyote yesterday with his .270wsm at 350 yards (+ or - 25 yards) It was a running shot, had about 3 sec to pull it off, bang flop, I was impressed with his shot. 150 grain remington accutip I think around 33.00 a box though.
No problemo, I just thought, you thought, it had only 28" of drop at 500 yds. Just so you know that was a 250 yd zero.
I am not advocating either, theyre real close, so close it doesnt make a bit of difference. The difference for me would be price of shells and availability. Personally I would take the 7 mag because of those reasons.
Actually I would take the 7-08 or 270 win. over both, I am not into magnums, theyre not needed for 200 yd shots or even 300yds. Thats where I like to keep my shots under.
