Always have to chuckle when I see Bob's sig line.
roundoak: Yes....many times I have felt so insecure about carrying a 270 that I have held off shooting because the animal was too small,in which event I would have over-killed it;or too big so that I would not have killed it dead enough...this may not make sense unless you realize there are varying degrees of "dead".......
.....the solution has been to get a rifle that was smaller....or bigger....as the case may be.
I have always been happier using a 7x57 because it is not as fast as the 270,and therefore kills with the first degree of "dead",as opposed to the second degree which is "too much" on smaller stuff.....
and because it has greater frontal area...(.007) is a LOT
) it kills to the second degree of "dead" on
much larger animals ...thereby making it much more suitable on a wider variety of game...which die to varying degrees depending of course on the degree of "dead" required to kill them.....
Have you noticed the same things....yourself???
Huh!?
