Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting The Big 7's......Which One?

There are some valid reasons for the Mashburn over the Remington.

None other than Jeff Cooper wrote that the Big 7 needs to drive a 160 at 3150. Page and Hagel as well as George Hoffman praised the 175 Partition at 3000. Some 7 RM's will come close but not all will reliably do so. That level of performance is necessary, in many minds, to make it a worthwhile step up from the 270 Win.

You need to use every trick known and then be willing to lean on the 7 RM pretty hard to reach those levels and even then not all will do it. The Mashburn lovers tell us they can do this with predicatability and without extreme pressures. Now whether the added performance makes any field difference compared to the 7 RM or the 270 Win is question that has no answer.
