too_pointer Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks for sharing your info. I have a .270 right now and not really in the market for something new, but when I do, I plan on looking at the short mags myself too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron buck Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Re: Truth to the \"Short Mag Craze\" the 270 WSM is nice....................BUT, the price of that factory ammo is STEEP! That is why I'd stay with the plain old 270. And I have enough other magnums, that any of the short mags would be redundant for me. If I needed a magnum, and I was willing to handload to keep ammo price down, the 270WSM is the one I'd want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Re: Truth to the \"Short Mag Craze\" Thats cool. I'm glad you like your new rifle. I will probably not get a short mag. Do not need one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Re: Truth to the \"Short Mag Craze\" I bought 7mm WSM last yr and absolutely love it. Tight groups and very flat shooting. I shot a doe at 325 yds according to the bushnell yardage pro 400 and she folded. Its not something you want to shoot a lot at the range but in the field its amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Re: Truth to the \"Short Mag Craze\" id really like a 270 shortmag but i hunt elk and although it will kill one i would like something a little bigger. i also want a 300wsm but does too much damage on deer.

David_218 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Re: Truth to the \"Short Mag Craze\" I think I'll stick with my Standard .270 Winchester. It's a proven cartridge with years of good reviews by many experts in the Shooting Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: Truth to the \"Short Mag Craze\" i got a Browning BLR .300 WSM in december, i absolutely love that gun!! i havent had the opportunity to hunt with it yet, but it sure has impressed me at the range. i havent done any precise shooting with it yet because i dont have a scope on it yet. i plan on getting one soon. i used dad's Remington 700 .300 Win Mag for deer hunting this past year. i killed a nice buck at 20 yards with it and it didnt do much damage at all. i was surprised!!
