For real. Discovered a 130gr Accubond over 60 gr H4831SC makes a godawful mess of a deer with a shoulder shot. Son shot a couple there at under 100 yds. Went back to his 7x57.

I never (dare I say) wanted a .270 due to having a 7x57, but have somehow acquired two. 60gr H4831 and the 130gr Hornady is "the load" in each. Very accurate, but hardly the "hammer of Thor", and no bang-flops. Have had several of those with the 7mm though, with less blast and recoil and less meat damage. And I now have three 7mms. whistle
