7mm rem mag vs. .270win

[Cal Sibley]

I'm not a big fan of magnums, yet I've always been fond of my 7mm Rem. Mag. It's a Remington 700BDL from the '80s, one of the earlier ones with the fleur de lys checkering. Weight and design is such that the recoil isn't all that hard to take. It'll still put 5 shots into less than an inch without turning me into a spastic cripple. Needless to say I'm quite biased. Had I went the .270Win. route I'd probably feel the same about it. I don't think there is any "best" here, merely two winners. Best wishes.
