Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 280AI vs 270 Winchester

that just blows another hole in the 7mm greater bullet selection argument...in that most people only utilise
a small selection of whats available,... and likely for two main reasons;
- common 7mm barrel twists limit the variety of projectiles one can practically use
- the majority of hunters typically have a narrow band of loyalty and/or typical stick to tried and true
by experience or on sound recommendation.

People with greater practical sense are more interested in terminal performance , not number crunching
highest BCs and energy/vel graph plotted nuances (at the shooting distance limits most people operate within)

Rem700 7-mag 1:9 1/4" twist
Howa 1500 1:9:5"
Vanguard 1:9.5"
Sako 1:9.5"
M70 1:9.5"
X -Bolt 1:9.5"
Savage 1:9.5"
Tikka 1:9.5"
Kimber 1:9.5"

that puts the super duper BC pills and xtra long monometals out of the game for most 7-Mag owners.
