How do you make something shooting a .277 projectile not gay?

A number of ways...

1) DON'T make it a .270 Win..

2) Give it a different case and a Tacticool Metric Designation like 6.8spc

3) Make sure its in a Black Rifle...

4) Remain in denial about any homosexual thoughts etc. to your cyber-friends.

5) Photograph it with non-gay items, like whiskey and dead animal skins...

6) Have Ingwe own one...makes it automatically uber-hetero and mega-cool...

Simple really.....

I dabbled a little with the 6.8, seemed to shoot okay. For one of those modest sized-cartridges though, I think next I'll work with a Grendel. Anything named after a legendary viking-eating monster can't be gay. smirk

GPoobs,

Didya put it together Ingwe or is that one of the LTRs from Hurricane Katrina era?

Had a cool boss in '05 who had one in a tan stock that I coveted...

That caliber kills same-same as the 6.8 JOC at woods ranges in my limited exposure to it.

Some of us shoot certain calibers just because we like them and don't care what others think.
Seriously nice rifle but shooting a .277 caliber cartridge with less powder capacity than the original Win makes you wonder about the shooter's orientation. laugh

Aside from being curiously queer, the problem I have with the .270 caliber is the lack of quality bullets within a very limited population. That makes it double dog queer.

.270 was the favorite cartridge of Harvey Milk. I know this to be true because my great aunt read it in the Enquirer.

The 6.8 definitely kills stuff if you point it right. I've done it, several times, on animals from a coyote to a good-sized feral boar.

But the recoil can be a problem for some people. Judging from Ingwe's cartridge choices over the past several years, he might be one...:-)

The only bullet I've used in the 6.8 is the 95 TTSX, because I was hunting with Bill Wilson (Wilson Combat) on his Texas ranch, using a couple of Wilson AR-15's and his handloads. As noted, they worked great.

But while Bill prefers the TTSX for pigs (which are his main focus, and the main reason he bought the ranch!), he prefers 110 AccuBonds for deer--which his wife really likes to hunt. The ranch is in NE Texas, not very far from Oklahoma, so the deer can be quite a bit bigger than in South Texas. He says the 110 AB's put a big buck down quicker than the TTSX's--and Bill's one of those who doesn't like looking around for dead animals in Texas thickets, especially at night!

I might have some extra 110 AB's if you want to play with some....

I've got a 27 Whelen that I am thinking about trying the 95 grain TTSX's in. I have never had a chance to work with the 110 grain Accubond, but I have shot a few things with the 110 grain TTSX out of the 270 WSM. It works pretty good.

I can keep him distracted with some 7x57s loaded with 175 grain partitions.

Ing. Let em toss off! BTW have you tried the Nosler 90 gr. Bonded FP. I have in my JOC an it shoots great! On a side note to the REV. Would that 175 NPT 7x57 load be adequate for the MOOSE PERMIT I GOT!!!!!?-Muddy

I expect it will, Muddy.

By the way, just yesterday Ingwe's old rifle was lamenting that he's gone to the dark side (sorry for the poor cellphone pic).

You could always pick up another and do the same again.

By the way, Ingwe, I shot that little porker at 92 yards (laser ranged) off sticks. He kept moving behind a scrub oak, but when he finally turned to face me and put his head down I slipped a factory 158 grain Prvi Grom right between his ears. His sister took off, but he didn't. He never heard the shot.

Oh, he'll taste pretty good...marinate overnight in mojo sauce, then into the crockpot till he's falling apart, then over some yellow rice. That'll do the trick.

Nothing special. We just pick it up at the grocery store (store brand - Publix). It's pretty good, although you can also make it yourself. It's not that hard.

Every grocery store around here has it. It's a traditional Cuban marinade (don't forget: I do live in Florida).

A GSD would probably make a fine playmate for her. I'd have to keep her away from Yorkies, however, lest she eat them. grin

Dude, don't you think it's time you accepted the 270 as your personal cartridge and repented of all this Trans stuff?
