You can lead a very long and very successful hunting career for any BG animal in North America and never touch off a high BC bullet; in fact in many circumstances you are substantially better off without them.

Besides the new ABLR only needs a 10 twist.

And experience has shown the 270 does just fine with common hunting bullets farther away than most who think they are LR hotshots have any business shooting at live animals.

Besides, the construction of many very high BC bullets really isn't all that great,but people seem to get by with them.People who seem to have problems killing BG with 270's might take a harder look at what bullets they are using...or aim a bit better.


I am glad you posted this because as I read another posters comments about "shortcomings" I'm thinking there are way too many people wrapped up in ultra high bc vld bullets believing a cartridge can't perform without them.

If you know your dope and can read the wind well and perform the basic mechanics of a marksman then those "shortcomings" are a mute point.
