That's just looking apples vs apples factory fodder. Lots can be done with a press.

25/06 and 280 make sense to me in the M700 because they are both long action... which means once you have a setup you like, both rifles are set that way... and you can mod the M700 a thousand ways til the cows come home...

and i just don't see the need for a 30 when you want to hit 3000 fps in a rifle setup comfortable to hunt that doesn-t beat you silly.



Between those two, I'm 270 all day. Especially since Barnes is going to load 129 LRX factory ammo. Wish they'd throw 110's back in the loop. Stuff won't be $20/box, but there's quite a bit that is.
