If memory serves, Boddington became a believer after killing a large bull elk in New Mexico with the 270?
I remember reading the article, vaguely remember the rife used but could of been a Savage 16 stainless factory loaner rifle but his ammo was Federal Premium with Nosler Part.
And before that, it was only marginal for elk hunting, but one hell of a deer cartridge... His magnumitus has surely calmed down a bit with age...
Not age...experience. It took me 20 years of being a 270 hater to come full circle. Now...I honestly wouldn’t consider any thing else. Shoots flat, kicks a little, and kills a lot
