I have been considering pulling the tube on my 7mm rem mag and putting a new barrel in 270 wby mag on it. In looking at the reloading data, the 7mm is pretty anemic for a mag. velocity is typically 100 fps faster than the 270 win (which is not bad) but the 7mm rm uses lots more power to get there. my only ? is recoil as the 7mm is a real pussy cat to shoot. I am currently shooting 162 gr pills and is appears that recoil in the 270 wby with 130 pills would be similar.
I am only using it on deer so heavier bullets is not a real concern.
Any user feedback would be appreciated.
Hmmmm I'm not sure I agree with your statement. My load for my 7MM Remington comes out of Hornady Vol. II. It's 3400 fps with a 139 Gr. Hornady and 71.4 Gr. of H4831 that's out of a 24 inch barrel. Doesn't sound like .270 WIN. performance to me.
