Jordan I understand our diff priorities.
Seriously, here’s why Wind Drift does NOT matter to ME. We have a long deer season
starting in Oct. some years, Nov. in others and runs past Christmas. I don’t have to
Hunt in rain or hi wind.
On another facet, if I hunted today’s ‘long range’ I’d probably use another cartridge.
IF you have time to Range, Read chart, Twist knobs, THEN aim to shoot, there are
several cartridges that would work.
I’ve said repeatedly that 400 yds is the limit of my opportunities and my confidence level.
* 400 yds is Nigh 1/4 mile *. That’s a long way.
At 400 yds, using the 270, 30-06, 7 RM, and 300 WM I don’t have to hold OVER a deer’s
back line. Using other’s term, I can hold on hair and the bullets drop less than 16-18”.
There is no lost time in making the shot.
No sarcasm, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. From many years experience and dead
critters, I don’t need a diff rifle/cartridge.
Now, after a few years reading of the supposed superiority of the C. I’m glad this
thread developed into a constructive discussion on the 270.
No Harm, No Foul
