Not rigged, not deceiving, but for a reason, as stated.
1) 7/08 BUILT it's reputation using ONE load - a 140 Corelokt - actually the 139 Hornady, often loaded now in 7/08, 280, and 7mag.
2) The 130 gr is THE bullet the 270 Winchester made it's reputation, and the company WINCHESTER loads Noslers, but not Corelokts.
But for interest to satisfy the apples to apples debate.
Accubond 140 in each, 7mm = 1.290 oal, .277 1.31 oal.
7mm-08/140 Accubond .485 B.C./2860mv - original factory spec
Muzzle 2860 2543
100 1.7 2676 2226

300 -7.3 2330 1688
400 -20.9 2168 1461
500 -42.0 2012 1258
Now...270-08/140 Accubond .496 B.C. ~ 2850 fps
Muzzle 2850 2525
100 1.7 2666 2210

500 -42.3 2004 1248
I spotted the 7mm 10fps+ of MV so...
Like I said in an earlier post, not enough difference to spit..literally.
So, again, MY gack is not to impress or win a pissing contest, just to show a 270-08 stands on it's own VERY well.
Ummm, Jim62, what were you saying about GOOD 7mm Boolits? Same/Same w/GOOD .277 bullets sir.
So............you guys have a good evening.
