[QUOTE="sportmuaythai, post: 566993, member: 17802"] 270 win was my first love. It still is. Heck, I killed a big maned lion and a grizzly in Yukon that won my guide the silver buckle with the 270. However, 7mm Rem mag is a better cartridge. If you hunt old style of stalking close, and stalk closer yet until you can shoot with 4x scope, then the 7mm Rem mag would be great. But if you're gonna shoot long range, I assume (I'm not an LR hunter yet) that [U]you'll need to practice much more.[/U] That's when you may need better brass. When I was actively hunting, 1 1/2" group at 100 yards was entirely adequate. I only need to shoot 2-3 groups to check that I was good to go. May be some ground hog varminting with lesser caliber to tune up, as needed BTW I think that 7mm Rem mag with 162 A Max should be good to 1,000 yards. But as many have said above, other 7mm cartridge such as wsm, [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5][color=#ffffff][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT], 7mm SAUM and Ultra Mag may have be easier to reload with better brass. I've never had problem head spacing the 7mm Rem mag by slightly bumping the shoulder. With my shooting, I only reload 2-3 times before I discard the brass. I don't practice that much with <350 yards hunting. [/QUOTE]
