You know, I thought about a 6.5 SAUM and all the fun prepping brass. And then I thought....
[bleep] that!
270 is way easier.....grin
Yes SamO...you can philander with all these other, better, more exotic cartridges and venture far afield....but the 270 is a safe haven when you want something simple,effective,and uncomplicated.
Bob, I can't believe you said better......grin.
Philander I will, if it keeps me from getting stagnet, and bored.
I thrive on the anticipation of getting to "ring out" something new, and different, then taking it out in the field to see it performs real world. After all, how can a hunter/shooter/reloader ever form an opinion on something without firsthand experience?
I've got no harsh words for the .270. I've probably seem more game taken with that round than most of the members in here, and it flat works for most everything. My .270's don't get much use anymore.....I'm always tinkering with other projects. I did kill my first antelope, black bear and elk with that round, for what it's worth.
