dc223: Well I was holding them both at the store the other day and noticed,they both have that intelligent tapered shape for good feeding from a staggered box magazine.....through dozens never seen a 270 bauble in function.

I mean they are really both "Mauser"-type cartridges,coming from roughly the same time frame and meant for the same type rifle action.

I often wish I had picked up a 6.5x55 M70 FW I had a chance at...

Bullets? Yes lots of good 6.5 bullets.

But, me,I try to avoid "lots of bullets"....I just load up a 130 to 3100 and "Let's go hunting"! smile





The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
