Yup, Jack liked the .270. Sheep hunters are hit with a different hammer, I can say this because I am so afflicted. Sheep come first, elk moose etc are not even considered when hunting rams. A .270 or .280 suits it perfectly and with enough extra to handle a herd bull elk of any description. Jack liked the .270 ,at the time nothing really compared to it . He would be quite surprised just how capable it is these days. Hey and the .270 wsm really does need a 24" barrel....the wcf works just fine with a 22. Any repeater with a longer barrel is just too long to carry at 10,000 ft and 45* angle of slope. My little old opinion, folks
