Ever notice the decent racks for that many bucks?? I think it was because no scopes, so small bucks got a pass.. Just a thought.. Great photo..

Maybe they had a team of really good biologists working a quality deer management program. Or maybe it was more of a buck to bullet ratio.

Found a Six although it is an 06 instead of 270 but I really don't care It will shoot my 165 SST handload in nice little 3/4" groups. It did 1.1" with my first go at the 150 TSX. I've got plenty of playing to do between now and November

I read somewhere it was a sin to shoot anything other than 180 grain RN's out of them though. (Unless it was a 270, of course.)

Most of my 06 kills have been with 180s, they always seem to work. I'll end up with 180 Fusions on this one before it's all done, but will have some fun in the meantime.

Maybe some of the modernized young ones. Not the old school Amish.

I know a lot of amish, while they almost to a man use 7600's their favorite caliber is 270.

M M -
IF you aren't Amish, why worry bout 'em?
Use what You like and the rifle shoots best.
I have never bought R N bullets or ammo.
