Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I was actually considering this particular 270 with the 160/2950 load as a good choice as it mimics most 7mm Rem Mags. To most Utah hunters, going bigger than a 270/308/30-06 they pick the 7mm Mag. My point being was since the 7mm Mag is a Jim Dandy elk round ( cows/smaller bulls for sure) this particular 270/160 load would be just as deadly but even handier! I hope I draw out on some antlerless (deer/antelope) tags to try it out on.
