Lots of words to say I have no answer.
Why didn't you just say I'm a 270 slut and leave it at that.
..... GFY
Last resort response. Not surprising considering the source.
I can usually gauge a guy's experience in BG hunting by his reaction to the 270(and the 30/06). When it comes to killing game animals, he may have other favorites,might not even use a 270; but will quickly admit it's a great cartridge and a solid and reliable killer of BG animals. The smart guys know this through personal experience.
But when the guy trashes the 270 and proclaims it worthless as a BG cartridge,and tries to argue that a 280 or something similar is a vastly superior choice, I suspect that he has not killed much game, seen very much killed himself,and has not "been around" much. I am usually right.
I think I know what category you fall in.
Might surprise you but I'm not a "270 slut", as you put it. And I have hunted a lot of North America with......lemme see....the 270 ( of course).7/08,7x57,280,7 Rem Mag, 7mm Dakota, 7mm Mashburn, 300 Win Mag, 300 Weatherby,25/06, 30/06,257 Roberts....and likely some others I can't recall..Or maybe did not kill with but did do the prep work.
If you want to toss in the cartridges I've seen used by others, the list would swell by a few more.
You?
I have found that I am about as successful with one thing as the other.And results are pretty much the same no matter what I hunt with. Point being...junior...I've used a lot of them,as have many other experienced folks on here.
I actually post a lot on the 270 because I know it aggravates people like you.
So...a 270 fetish? Nope....i don't have cartridge fetishes. I can hunt with anything i want,and have.
I have answered your questions about the Mashburn several times. But you want to ignore the answer because you are more interested in arguing with me than you are in paying attention to what I've explained to you.In other words, your juvenile ego has gotten in the way of absorbing any information that I've tried to provide. You don't want to hear answers. You want to argue.
This is not uncommon on here. You are a good example of it.
Listen to Beretz. He will explain it. You might learn something, Muffin.
