I used both, and could tell no difference between the two. The bullet selection goes to 7mm.
But, I think it is a law or something that everyone has to own a .270.
KC Uh... no not hardly!

Very few questions in North America that the 270 is not a great answer for!
7mmstwer.... You and I are in the same boat. I have 3 7mm-08s and 4 270's. I dont have a clue why I have so many... but I am very fond of both rounds...obviously! LoL

I have both, although my 7-08 is a 7x51 improved. No observable difference in performance. If I could only choose one of them it would be the .270 simply because I like the rifles I have in that caliber better than the rifle that is chambered for the 7x51 improved.

Anything but a .270!  Duh...+1 Except the 7x57 ... that is about the only cartridge I would opt for the .270Win over. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/images/smilies/nutkick.gif)

What we really need is a 25-08 and a 27-08 just so we have a whole bunch more to argue about. Ya see, I always liked the .270 Win. but I also liked efficient short cases for reloading. We need both. If not the .270 Win. wins. I get cases for 5 bucks a hundred. Don't need any bigger bullet than 130 gr. for most game. We are shooting elk with .243 Win. and deer and hogs with .223 Rem.

Hey, that's something our wifes don't need to see. I've got mine convinced I need a 375 for elk this year.....

By the way, 2 of my 4 sons run a 270 as their main rifle, but have not warmed to a 7-08, even though they were brought up shooting both. Why...? Who knows.....

Yep!
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

It's a fairly simple matter to get 2,850 to 2,900 with a 150 in the 270.
A 7-08 will run a 150 around 2,700-2750. Just a thought... if both are set with a 200 yd. Zero, the 7mm-08 drops 1.5"more than the 270. That's a long shot for me. At 400 yds. The difference is only 4". Under field conditions I doubt most can tell the difference.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

The Federal Ammo site lists a 7-08 factory loaded 140gr Nosler Partition with a 2800 mv.
Lists the 270win 150gr Nosler Partition at 2830 and the 140 Accubond at 2950. The 130g Trophy Tip {P270TT4}has a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps,check out the energy it delivers. It beats the 150g Partition!

If you're going to start reloading, then it should be a choice between the 280 and the 7mm-08. And if that were the choice, I think it just comes down to whether you prefer short actions or long actions. The Kimber Montana in 280AI would be my hands down choice if I wanted a 7mm and was a reloader. The Kimber 84M in 7mm08 wouldn't suck either!!
