Got tired of the drama and BS, especially when he posted something about his experience (which is considerable) and some nitwit who'd never done 1/10th of what he has challenged him on it.
He found better things to do with his time, in particular his family.

In "real life" you can walk away. On the 'net, you can choose to ignore them. I find "ignore" a nice feature to avoid contact with those whose behavior I find offensive. I do find it odd that a couple of folks who have me on "ignore" regularly peek and comment on my posts. If they "dislike me" enough to ignore me, why can't they let go and "really" ignore me?

Life is one long mystery, and the Internet has only increased the mystery quotient, in several ways.

People can say what they want about the 270, but I've got mine in an old Ruger No.1B ready to go. Old Scottish made H4831, one grain below max in appropriate vintage data, and 150 grain Interlocks at 3000 fps. Accuracy I could use to lighten the wallets of those who think no No.1's shoot.

Steve Redgell: Fantastic repertoire. You are truly a very, very talented and creative raconteur of "history". With your kind indulgence I would like to query you further. Thomas Benjamin Tibbey was English, 1849-1906. I don't see any connection. My family ancestry was Bentheimer, a principality between the Netherlands and Germany. Back in the old days Tibbe was spelled Tibbet. That goes back to the 11th Century Romans, best info available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BentheimSorry that I haven't been able to follow the development of your Wetless Combuster but I am definitely open completely to more enlightenment.

Most of the drivel decrying the 270 is Internet chatter,hawked by a small but highly vocal minority. They remind me of the same crew who, back in the 70's, preached that elk should never be hunted with anything less than a 338 with 250 gr. bullets. Geezus those guys got boring after awhile...the reason I just stopped reading Elmer. The 270 probably packs more meat in freezers and puts more big heads on the wall every year, than all the wonder cartridges combined...except maybe the 30/06.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

A few years ago, a guy named Solomon wrote, "there's really nothing new under the sun."
If he wasn't a "270 guy" then, I believe he would be in the present.

Oh gee, everyone knows Jack O Connor invented the .270 in hunting camp one night when Elmer Keith was late arriving.

Oh gee, everyone knows Jack O Connor invented the .270 in hunting camp one night when Elmer Keith was late arriving. And I always thought that JO'C did it to pi$$ EK off, to prove to him that a man didn't need a rifle of at least 35 caliber and bullets weighing at least 250 grains to kill North American game. I don't know that I ever read that EK ever used a 270, but he did claim to have owned a 256 Newton and other than being about 150+/- fps slower and having a bore diameter 0.013" smaller, there isn't a whole lot of "practical" difference between the two.
