Oh yeah, I almost forgot to add that in a 10 mph wind the 264/140Berg @ 3200 load drifts 3.2" less than the 270/150Berg @2950.

And the diff tween the same loads in terms of drop is with the .270 one needs to turn in 1.7 more moa...

This is just me but to 500 there just isn't much diff and I can easily live with either of those. But go long (500-1K) and things will take a change for the worst for the .270.

This sounds reasonable to me.....I've never used a Berger bullet in the 270 but I have killed with it to a bit over 400 yards;that's as far as I've had to use it. The 264 seems much like a 7 mag to me and I would expect the same advantages from it that the 7 mag offers.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
