Followed his writing and travels to hunt for years. Rereading a deer rifle article of his over the last few days. He has shot alot of animals. He has shot alot of animals with factory ammunition , I can't remember ever reading about him working up a reload for a hunt. Like a lot of guys here my use of a load I worked up is part of the satisfaction I get from a successful hunt. I can't even imagine cheating myself out of that. I've shot enough deer to know the 270 works well and know more than a few people who have used it successfully on elk. I enjoy reading and sometimes hearing opinions of others but.make my decisions based on what I think. I'd rather read JB everyday of the week and twice on Sunday because you know he reloads his own ammo...mb
