I was referring to the new hot trend of
long heavy SLOWER speed vs
the 270s 130 @ 3100.
It’s been a couple three years in a discussion
“They said the 6.5 C would pass the 270
+/- 600 yds. “
I’ll take a 600 yd advantage EVERY time.

edit add: the 7 RM is ‘like’ a 270 on steroids.
I suppose a lot of the more experienced hunters are more likely to reload and re-barrel their .270's and .257's rather than buy new rifles. The gun and ammunition companies have to have some gimmick to sell their new rifles and loaded ammunition otherwise they'll go out of business. It's inevitable that they convince new shooters that they'll be killing game at 600 or 700 yards when 150 yds is more likely. If I was shooting game as opposed to paper at those distances, I'd still want a .270 on a bigger case and use 165-170 grain projectiles in a heavy rifle with a 27" barrel.
