From Looking at this chart, if I want a gun that kicks like a 270 but is a better elk killer the
7mm-08 Rem.
.280 Rem.
.270 Wby. Mag.
are in the same range. But how much better then the 270 are they?
The
.270 WSM
7mm Rem. Mag.
Are a little hot for me, with about the same recoil range.
The beloved
.300 Win. Mag.
Is off the charts for comfortable recoil. according to the charts.
Using any 30. Cal less then a .300 mag seems like going back to the dinosaur ages.
So between
7mm-08 Rem.
.280 Rem.
.270 Wby. Mag.
Which one?
I don't like the Weatherby, those guns seem more for looking at, I believe guns are for shooting, but if there is something great about this round, I wouldn't mind scratching one up.
So
7mm-08 Rem.
.280 Rem.
What is the difference and are they really any better then the 270?
For the Record if I was man enough I would tote a .338 around, I've just spent enough time in the elk woods to know a 15 lb. gun that kicks the crap out of you is not for me.
Thanks
