I have a 270W w/ 25 inch Douglas bbl that runs 150gr NBT's ~3085fps, 130gr NPT's just shy of 3200fps. And that rifle and 150gr load have been hooked up to a Oehler M43 Ballistics Lab and was under max pressure (slightly under anyway wink ).

But most folks forget to compare equal bbl lengths when comparing magnums to standard cartridges.........


Agreed.....




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
