270.
Because it's better than either the 6.5-284 or the 280.
The 270 guys like to start the discussion, and then act offended when a few facts are interjected.
Always trying to tromp on the ole 270 comparing
fast twist factory twisted 7's to factory twisted 270's. Same ole [bleep], same song second verse and on and on.
There . . . fixed it for you
Shod is right;you guys preaching 280 superiority are giving antiquated info today.I think you'r just annoyed because there are 277 bullets that rival the 7mm pets grin
I don't see too many slippery 277 bullets.
Wonder if the 277 LRAB will be changed to be suitable for shooting something more than paper/steel?
Or if the fast twist 270s will be rolling off the line soon?
Due to lack of twisted barrels I can certainly appreciate my 270s out to about 400 yds however a meager 7/08 toting a 162 A Max carries the same foot lbs of energy at 850 yds as any of my 270 loads do at 500 and a properly twisted 6.5 will most certainly stomp all over a 10 twist 270 out past 500 yds.
Yes . . . Shod was right
No we're still here. grin
MAYBE SOMEBODY SHOULD RESURRECT THAT 270 THREAD IN CASE SOMEBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT
