A 6.5mm 140gr Sierra Gameking or Pro-Hunter started at 2600 fps from a 6.5x55 does indeed perform markedly different than a .277" 130gr Sierra started at 3100 from a 270 Win. Of these two loads, the Swede load is more reliable when the bullet encounters heavy muscle and bone. This is fact based on personal experience. The full-loaded 270 is hard on lightly constructed bullets. To say there is something inherrently wrong with the 270 is folly. OTOH, the higher the velocity, the more critical bullet selection becomes regardless the name on the cartridge headstamp.
Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.
