If you're using a slower burning powder usually you will gain some benfit from having a longer barrel. That is of course dependent upon the cartridge as well, but yeah I believe that chambering would benefit as does the 300 WM, and some others.

yeah and the slower the powder you use the more of it you can use and the less pressure and higher velocity you will get and with that longer barrel you can stabilize your bullet better

Heck I spend a lot of time chasing bullet holes. I think it keeps the bullet and powder suppliers happy. Its funny as a gun that shoots MOA is all any of us ever need for hunting but that last inth of accuracy can really get to be an obsession. I don't need to shoot bugholes....but I sure like to.

That's a good question. I guess it's gonna depend on the buying publics demand. Time will tell all I suppose.

I think from all indications the 270 and 300wsm's will be around for some time as evidenced by new brass becoming available and the number of rifles they are being chambered in. The two filled a void for the short action lovers and supplied a viable, powerful choice for hunting. The 7mm wsm just hasn't really done much and seems to be slipping in chamberings. Perhaps there are so many 7mm options out there that the interest is just not there. I believe the remington short mag offerings will fade out and be gone at some point in the future. The fact that remington is offering factory ammo for the wsm's seems to support this assumption.
What can you say about weatherbys? They will always have a loyal following and will always be popular. I wouldn't expect the 270 weatherby to disappear ever. I think there is room for both 270 caliber offerings and both appear to be selling fine. If I ever buy a short mag it will be in the 270wsm caliber. With good bullets it would be as fine a long range big game rifle as you could want IMHO. Focus Edited by Focus - December/21/2007 at 16:15 |
