I did! Like I said before, my gun regrets are the ones that got away.

My main reason for picking the 270 over the 7 is because it was the first. In the field I would use them interchangeably. Both are outstanding.

I suspect that Barnes bullets like a bit of jump and weatherbys accommodate that. (?) A 129LRX going faster than Superman does hold some appeal.

Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
