The 7mm because it has Express in the name. It automatically make it kill DRT.


Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.

If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Thinking it'd be the 7mm/06...

Waiting to see what the experts say on this one. Bound to be at least one, I bet more than one around.

It's really odd...because I have a .280; have had a couple others. And I have two sets of 7mm Express dies -- and they both work just fine reloading for all the .280's I've had... whistle.

It's near to a miracle, near as I can tell... wink.

ps...all three of my .280's were far better than either of the .270's I've had... shocked.

The .280 of course! I always seem to mispell Epxrees and when labeling your reloads if you just put 7mm you can get it confused with the 7x57 stuff you got sitting around.

Also as everyone knows Eecpress means CHEAP finish when used by Remington. I like my bullets shiny!

I know...it's quite a mystery why it works like that... smirk

You can get more powder in the Express case than the .280 case.

So it's got to be faster. The 7-06 that Dober brought up will hold more than the Express.

So maybe it's the best?

I seem to remember someone yanking chain at the local Sportsmans Whorehouse touting the 6.8-06 and suggesting it would be the new wonder round. Got the bobblehead doll behind the counter counting time on that one... wink

Just saying...

I say go with the 7x64, because the others don't match up baliistically!

Where was it at?

That sounds like something my brother-in-law would say.

He tried to make a .308 a .300 magnum one time...

I don't like either one.

I like the .244 Remington better and the 6mm Remington flat blows them all into the weeds.
