When I do another long action cartridge, it will likely be a .270, twisted to spin these:

I know it sounds odd but I have my reasons:

-If I need it, factory .270 ammo is available anywhere.
-More .277 high BC VLD type bullets are starting to show up. With bullets similar to the Berger linked above it will hang with pretty much anything out there. Someone on this forum often voices the astute observation that “bullets matter more than headstamps.”
-I have more DRT kills with a .270 than any other cartridge. Probably just luck of the draw when compared to other cartridges but it inspires much confidence.
-Finally, similarly to the 6.5 Creedmoor, I’d do it just to irritate all the haters. 😂😂
