This past weekend... Saw zip. Don't know if they have gone nocturnal due to pressure and lunar phases or what.. Got three weekends left. The 9.3 Bock with 286 Hornadys. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x334/mojohand1/B703FD93-D671-4354-9535-5E26E94CA4D7_zpsdhkblcfo.jpg)
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

I used my old 1963 model Remington 700 30-06 last weekend. It is topped with a Leupy VX-2 2-7. Loaded with Speer 200 gr Hot Cors. Shot her about 100-120yds. Got a rib on both sides and clipped the off side shoulder, turned everything inside to mush. Not much blood shot at all. Cow walked about 10-15 feet after the shot and fell over dead. Pretty uneventful shot.

A Savage in 338-06 or 6.5x284, either will do fine.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I'm headed to idaho in November to elk hunt so I might us it their.. I been reading when the 270 was introduced it was with a 130gr bullet. So might have to buy some 130gr partitions and try em out I should be good out to 150 yds with open sights.

While I had intended to take my virgin .280 Remington using 140g AccuBond bullets, I used that rifle to take my antelope at 272 yards a couple weeks ago. Bow I'm not sure. In any case, two rifles will go. Last night I made more 140g BT practice loads and AB hunting loads for the Ruger All-Weather .280 Rem. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Ruger_Hawkeye_280_Remington.jpg) Also looking at these two, a semi-custom Ruger MKII .338WM wih 225g AB and a Ruger MKII .30-06 with 150g AB. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/IMG_13482.JPG) The current plan is to take all three to the range on Sunday and shoot them off the sticks at ranges out to 600 yards, then decide. If that doesn't work out for whatever reason, including possible rain, the .280 Rem and .30-06 will be the winners as they were both checked out at the range a three weeks ago.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

... Too late to edit the original post but to correct the record, the antelope was taken at 373 yards, not 272. My typo.

Instead of the 300 H&H I always bring, this year on a colorado cow hunt I used my M70 280 AI, 150 TTSX's worked well...I'll also take that rifle next month to Mt to chase elk and mule deer. ![[Linked Image]](http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p116/handwerk/IMG_0164_zps8lsruk2b.jpg)

My 270 Win Kimber Montana performed well. First time out with it and I am now hooked on that rifle.
