The 7 mag handloaded to max with heavy bullets is more powerful than a .270 loaded to max with heavy bullets, in every respect, that is so basic that anyone should be able to understand it. A 175 gr. Nosler partition at 3000 FPS is pretty awesome on elk and moose...A .270 can't get there, but does it need to..No, it doesn't need to..The .270 will do fine with a 160 gr. bullet at 2800 FPS.

I wouldn't get my shorts in a wad over the difference inasmuch as the results would be the same for all practical purposes..

Too many posts for such a subject.
