Naw, I'd still be shooting the WSM You are right that the 270 doesn't see much use in F class shooting but if someone were to develop a 160 grain high BC bullet I'm sure a few guys shooting the 6.5s would have to take a hard look. After all, chucking a 270 bullet at these velocities is a realitively new phenom...Weatherby excluded of course.

The 7mm gets so much press regarding high BC bullets and their magical powers but the truth is, a little speed goes a long ways, especially inside 1,000 yards....on a calm day of course
