The need for velocities over 3000 went away with the development of LRF’s. I still like 2900-3000 but more isn’t needed. Bullet technology, meaning monos, has changed many things as well.

You’re just being sensible. Give me 20 years, maybe I’ll come around. Still love the 270 but I like a few others as well. I figure if a fella shoots enough it’s all just crazy speak really. We have too many choices these days.
