Have never heard them fighting.


So a Creed, a Swede, and a Roberts walk into a bar.......
see 270 and invite him over for a beer. Four beers and a barstool they say to the barkeep. Barkeep brings the four beers and the stool. Why only one stool asked the barkeep? Thats' all we need says 270 as he flips the barstool upside down.

fyi, I have two 270s, a.257 Roberts and two 7x57s.

My two youngest sons are into 1000 yard shooting. If I were to get into it, I would consider the 7mm/08, 180gn bullet in a fast twist barrel. If I remember correctly, Big Stick posted some ballistic charts awhile back showing the 7mm/08 overtaking the 300 Win Mag at 100-1200 yds. Seems a good bang for the buck.

Old guy, old guns.
