Hello all
I am looking at picking up a Sako 85 Finnlite in either 270wsm or 300wsm. I have not owned a short mag yet and am looking for some opinions from guys that have. I'm not looking to get into what kind of game are you hunting etc as I own lots of rifles in many calibers. I just want to know about some first hand experience with regards to performance. Does the 270wsm really stretch out compared to a 270 win? Does it come close to the 270 Wby? Or is the 300wsm the higher acheiver leaving the 30-06 way behind and duplicating 300 win mag velocities? Any ideas?? I am a handloader so I am interested in more than just factory data. Thanks for all replies.
Regards
Don't ignore the .325 WSM. It has several advantages. To wit:
- explaining what the hell it is, and isn't, is always a great way to get your buddies eyes to glaze over;
- it makes finding bullets and brass more challenging, and challenge keeps the mind sharp, feet fleet, and pecker willing;
- it'll shoot an Accubond through a deer lengthwise. Starting at the rear shoulder no less. How slick is THAT?
- an 8mm jag works GREAT for tight-patching a .30 bore;
- uh.... I'm sure there's more, but that should be plenty.
