Hi All,
I'm looking at trading my 270 winchester for a 7mm remington magnum. After a lot of research many people state that the velocities in loading manuals are way over the top and not acheivable. Even on the barnes load data site http://www.barnesbullets.com/information/load-data/ it has the 270 win with a 130 grain at 3133fps and another load at 3211 fps where the 7mm mag with a 140 grain load only travelling at 3107fps and another load at 3145fps. So why would I trade the 270 for the 7mm rem mag? In the manual I have it states the 7mm mag at 3340 fps with RE-22 for a 140 grain load out of a 24 inch barrel.
So I'm looking for actual, no BS chronied loads people have got with their 140 and 160 grain loads in the 7mm rem mag. Also if you could state the powder your using for that load and barrel length.
Thanks
Rick
