If you are imprudent enough, you can goose a 150 gr bullet from a 270 at over 3000 fps (I have done it); much the same way you can get 3200 from a 160 in a 7 Rem Mag.

Neither is particularly bright nor to be recommended as in both cases the loads are clearly over the top.

I use 2900 fps as the benchmark in a 270 with 150 gr, regardless which miracle powder a guy likes to burn.Makes life simpler. As always, you want more, buy a bigger cartridge.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
