Hmmm- good points.

My 270 is set up with 140 gr. TSX at about 3050 fps and my 300 Win mag is set up with 180 gr. Accubonds at about 3050 fps.

I haven't shot higher grain bullets than those two before and my max range at the range has been at our 500 yard marker. The 300 win mag seems to be more accurate and drop less than my 270 at that range.

Should I consider anything more fancy than the cartriges that you list, like a 6.5x68 or a wildcat or just hunker down with one of my rifles and see where I end up at the end of the summer?
