All this plus the ancient 270 shoots flatter than a Creedmoor out to 440 which is my self imposed limit...maybe 500.


We should be comparing apples to apples here, right?

With TTSX bullets of comparable S.D. the 270 out shoots the 6.5 CM by 1.2" at 450 yards even though it starts out 100 fps faster....wow. bfg?

The 6.5 CM uses 15 grains less powder, and fits into a short action.

Short action or shorter 21" barrels, take your pick....

Or, just maybe a short action with a shorter 21" barrel? I like that, but the 270 won't do that. (6.5 CM will)

But, the 270 will give me an extra 1.2" at 450 yds! If that matters to you.

Bet Rick and Bob never tried that.


And I miss Bob, a lot!
