That's a really similar reaction the one I had when I saw all of discussion about the 7 Mashburn on the CF.

I mean a wildcat that bests the 7RM by 100fps when you run it in a full-length magnum action,and is kicked all over the school yard by the 7mm STW that uses all the action length. Well you gotta wonder, what's the point?

But,to each his own.

With a 100fps gain, better bullets and twists than the 270, I think it would be a no-brainer except for the incestuous relationship some people seem to have with the 270 (circles?).

And in a Kimber, it weighs a whole lot less than ANY 7RM on the market.

Faster is always faster, and better is always better.

And, it's SAAMI to boot!

Rationalize on.




Seems as the 280 AI has gained way more traction than the Mashburn. Don't see any manufacturers chambering the Mashburn let alone anyone making factory ammo for it!!
