      @@edstettin6799 I don’t know about that. They are neck and neck. I would say 30-378 has an edge with factory ammo because the 300rums are loaded light at 90% max pressure. Handloads are a different story, while the 30-378 factory ammo is loaded to true spec, handloads don’t give a significant difference like the rum. With the rum you can load a 215g faster than a factory 180g. My 300rum load is a 215g at 3250fps with ease.

      I need to measure it. I does fit in these newer "short" actions that have the 3 inch mags. The 180 ELDM loads out to 2.925" for me and feeds flawlessly in my rifle. I don't know on the 180 VLD what it would be though. If it is a newer short action, I would think it would run since a lot of short actions have been updated to run cartridges saami spec length of 2.950".

    Typical, ethical hunting ranges (300-400 yards), your charts demonstrate the .270 still works just fine. All you get with the "modern bullet", is more barrel-burning velocity, energy (not needed for deer-sized game at traditional point-blank range)...and, as you mentioned, extra recoil. If those at altitude want to use the extra punch on larger range-sized game, have at it. But for the majority of us, it's pretty unnecessary...
