I get tired from work and doing math in the field is frustrating.
What about a 90 grain gold dot in a full power 270 win?

Ummmmmmmmm………………… I think laser beams have a higher B.C. than a 90 grain .277" bullet.

I never do math in the field. Range, dial, shoot.

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Sometimes I do that for prairie dogs. I never do that with a draw tag in my pocket but I do only hunt wide open spaces. It is just so fast to range, dial and shoot that I'll always do it. Lobbing in 140 vld or 147 Eld. Or .570 roundballs though I admit to not dialing that one. So maybe that one is my laser beam load? Hadn't thought of that.

Please tell me all about the 6ai...
I am totally unfamiliar but was looking at off the shelf rem 700 in 243, but it seems the 1.9 twist is too slow

Jud don’t need no stinking twist rate.... he just mashes the pedal.

A 129 LRX at as fast as a 270 can safely push it (3100-3150 ish) should get you out there a ways...

This is an odd question for the LR forum. Even the flattest combinations will barely get you an MPBR of 400 yards.

Back in the day I used a .257 WBY, and 75gr Hornady hollow points at 4000+. It was an evil little SOB. That bullet had a jacket that would stay together in flight. The lighter Sierra bullets would come apart in flight..
Way before the laser range finder days...after a kill, I would always try to "pace" the distance to see how close my guess was.
Luck....is the residue of design... ![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/96zvyt.gif)

Whats a laser? back in some of the deeper PA hollows, Barr & Strouds from WW1 are still in use.
And you wont be pacing off any distances, lol
But aside from that, I agree with your point, but only to another point, which you are of coarse aware of.
