Sharman: If you are intent on using inferior wares for your hunting, I'm the last to stop you.By al means, have at it!
The vision of an overweight pig of a rifle chambered for a "BG cartridge wannabe" ,the only attribute of which is that it kicks less than a 30/06, is hilarious
That you have never killed anything with it, but it makes you "happy",adds to the amusement.
Since you have never owned a 270,you aren't in much of a position to evaluate how it compares to a 25/06, are you?. I got a feeling you have not shot much of anything and have killed even less with anything.
Post back up in a decade, if, as ,and when you ever get this stuff figured out....you're doing really well so far...
