Bob..... as usual I agree with you. I forget how non-loony the general shooting public is. Of the several other guys at elk camp this year none had even FIRED their elk rifles since last year! That's just incomprehensible to me, but, it is my main hobby these days I guess, and I am capable of great feats of OCD'ness with this stuff and shoot a lot
Gayly enough I think the 270 WSM might actually top the 300 WSM, though I'm just guessing there. It does what people like about their .270's ("it shoots so flat I can blah blah blah!") only even more so. Put another way, it's not a magnum it's being compared against.
