I think MD may get exasperated by us sometimes, but he is always forthcoming with good info. I took up a lot of both his and Eileens time at a gun show last year. They were both gracious and easy to talk to.

As to the 30-06/270 discussion I own both and have only come to the 270 in the last 10 years or so. In order to get real experiance with it I have used it for most of my deer hunting the last 5 years. To my amazement it actually kills stuff. (My brother, the original 270 fan in the family would be laughing with self-righteousness by now.) Oh, and using it last year I only needed one shot to get my antelope thank you very much.
