I have used a 270 on lots of plains game in RSA, Namibia, and Zim. More than most here are willing to believe. Used it on 15+ trips. Used a 280 on three trips and a 7RM on three trips.

I have used lots of the 130 TTSX. I have used a few 160 Partitions and am going to use 150 Partitions this year. Those are my first choices.

Most shooting is 75-150 yards and never over 250. However, most shots are not broadside so penetration is important.

I have been with lots of first and second timers who use bigger guns but have less success cause they can't "shoot straight". Practice with the 270 and don't worry.

I have concluded that the perfect big game battery for 99% of hunting is ONE 270. If buffalo or brown bears in the alders are hunted then go 375 maybe 416. Same for lions. Grizzly bears in tundra, 270.

You can spend lots of $$'s dragging a 270 around the planet.
