I'm thinking 85 X's at 3500 would be fun, as would the 150 LRAB. Lots of other bullets in the mix peak my interest -- the 100 and 110 Accubonds with those thick jackets might not be bad either. The typical 130's and 150's do their job. The 270 components are everywhere. I'm stocked with appropriate powders as well.

Not that my 260, 6.5 Creedmoor or 7-08 can't get the job done....and I know there is no real world advantage the 270 offers over my 308 or 243 for the animals I hunt.

I started out with a 270 and evolved. Maybe I've come full circle?


I'm with ya on this one. I started with a .270 too. Been thinking a bunch lately about another .270. I've had more DRT kills with a .270 than any other cartridge. Most everything I've shot since should have been just as good and given similar results, but nothing really has. No commonly available true VLD type bullets, but out to 600 or so, the .270 still gives a pretty good account of itself. As much as I watch for the opportunity, nothing seems to provide me with the opportunity to shoot at it that far anyway.

I'm thinking maybe a stainless Howa in a Manners EH3� Is $550 a good price on a stainless Howa?
