Just don't try to 'gay it up' with a .270 RN.... I shoot pointys in my 270Win and RNs in my 7x57R. I am confused.

SuperCub, you mentioned getting some 154 grain Horn. RN in 7mm.. Are those still made?? Haven't seen a Hornady list for a long spell.

WCH,
My brothers and I have been hunting there the last few years for PA rifle season. Rent the state cabin off of Broooks Run Road. Drive to the top of the mountain, we turn left. Saw a huge bull elk on top of the mountain a couple of years ago, just off the dirt road we were on. Majestic! Hooked us on Sinnemahoning.
We love it out there but there is a lot of public land available to hunt closer to us. We had hunted Sullivan cty prior to going to Sinnemahoning and enjoyed that too.
Won't be too much longer.

Doesn't count unless you have shot threw a 4in sapling, killed the Deer on the other side and got a limit of Grouse and a 25 pound Turkey with the fragments.
I've done HALF of that. Shot thru a 4" sapplin and killed the deer.... BUT no grouse (in Ark) and didn't get the turkey. Does my 270 get 1/2 credit for brush busting? (shouldn't leave the door open like that.) In my experience just about any centerfire rifle bullet will bust brush. It's hitting and killing some animal on the far side of the brush that's the problem. Yep, the critical 'criteria' is the distance BETWEEN the brush and game.

Again, I didn't take offense to anything you or anyone else wrote on the subject. Well there was one, but he was just pissing in the wind. THIS ONE?? The 7x57 IS morally, intellectually, and panache-wise superior to all others. With or without RNs

SuperCub, you mentioned getting some 154 grain Horn. RN in 7mm.. Are those still made?? Haven't seen a Hornady list for a long spell. I found a source here in Canada that still had some on hand. I was surprised when they emailed they did have them in stock expecting to have to use 175gr RN instead. Many RNs are not offered or made any more, being the victims of marketing.

SuperCub, your quite right.. After I ask that question, I checked the Horn. site.. While bullets were not be presently made, there was only ONE roundnose bullet listed for 7mm and it was the 175.. Good find..

The 270 is CLEARLY heads and shoulders over the 7x57, esp with pointy bullets. The 7x57 is kind of a dinosaur, so the RNs are a very fitting bullet to use in them.

99, Do you and your brother do any good on bucks in the Brooks Run Area??.. Fished that area of the state many, many years ago.. Some years I have hunted turkey there both spring and fall.. But never made it there during deer season.. Years ago, we stopped in the old Keating Hotel.. When we returned, found it had burned to the ground.. Lots of neat country and history there.. Did you catch the article in Pa. Game News about an old guy who lived all his live in that neck of the woods.. It was titled, "Charlie Cross: Hunter." At least that is what I remember.. He was of course from the Cross Forks area.. Beautiful country there.. It would be great to see the leaves of the northern forests during the peak.. Enjoy..

SuperCub,
If you're thinking of the 6.5mm Hornady 160-grain round-nose, they dropped it a couple of years ago.

I shouldn't comment on that as I use the 257R the most.
