I've fired other folks .270's with a clothes pin on my nose.
Still made me ill.
Its best left to the Jack O'Connor worshipers and Bubba Gumps who enjoy mud racing. Done you rat bastid! Leave it to me. Chicks digs us mud bogger types.  You smell of garlic and collards, hence the clothes pin, Jack hater. P.S. Your Jack O' Conner Museum Pass is revoked and ALL Pronghorn thingamabobs are in the dumpster. He was like a father to me. (Not true) Pronghorns used to be my favorite. (don't have one)

I bought a 270 once, really disliked it.
The only reason I didn't get rid of it was because I couldn't find a lake deep enough to be sure it would never be found.
However after putting on a Micky stock, Shilen trigger, having the action trued, and giving it a nice 22 inch Shilen #4 Stainless barrel I like it much better now.
Oh Yeah, it's now a 338-06.

I've never fired a .270....which is why I am such an ex-spurt on how much they suck...

.222
.240 Weatherby
.250 Savage
.257 Roberts
.260
6.5x55
.264 WinMag
7x57
.280
.284
7x61 (granted, this one's out there in the weeds)
7mm SAUM (again, in the weeds)
7mm Weatherby
.340 Weatherby
.375 H&H
.375 Weatherby

I'll let somebody else figure out what is common. I fear I'm way too far gone to decide.

You guys would wander around for 40 years in a desert in robes and with William Devane's gold, lost. Suck? That hurts, you were raised better than that.

Havent you noticed on the 'fire here that opinions are inversely proportional to the amount of actual experience with the topic the poster has???

I'm from Idaho, so I put that statement into google translate. It said, there are lots of big words here...........move to Montana. P.S. Yes. I just like to throw a rant once every few posts.

Apology accepted, your leopardness. So, you used to shoot a .270, then got saved? or what? 7x57 always? Till you went 223AI? Inquiring minds.

Settled on the 7x57 after trying everything else, always maintained if somebody made super premium bullets for .22 centerfires that Id probably use nothing else...it seems that statement has come home to roost...havent even fired the 7x57 in five years... last time to Africa all I took was a .22-250 and 53 gr TSXs...wasn't planning on much shooting, just some varmints and a little culling...shot a warthog with it....hes the one laying down, Im the one sitting up...just in case you were confused.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/012_12.jpg) he's dead...I only smell that way.....

Good stuff, thanks.
I'm almost with you cept I can't keep my 243ai out of my hands unless gophs are on tap.
If I would have drawn moose this year I would be choking up the bat, but it wasn't my time.
I still shoot my bigger ones but it's usually at metal.
Thanks for the laughs.
Some funny schit there.

JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Nothing 204, nothing .17 (GFY in advance, flave), never a 7mmRM or WSM. Never fired an '06. No 7/08, and nothing .338 or over 375!

30-06. Own one in a Winchester. Just not shot it. That's blasphemy....but atleast you have one so that makes it a little better.....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've never fired a .270....which is why I am such an ex-spurt on how much they suck... I have a .270 therfore have never needed a 7x57, a .243 or a 7mm-08. Haven't shot any of them or any .22 Centerfires, 'cause I already know they suck.

I have fired:
.270 WCF
30-06
30-30 Win
.308 Win
.22 LR
.22 Mag
.17 HMR
8x57(quite possibly the greatest round ever developed)
7mm Rem Mag
7mm WSM
8mm Gibbs
6.5mm Gibbs
30-40 Krag
.303 British
25-06
Think I might have left one or two off, not sure.
I have a Shaw Mk VII ordered in .300 Win Mag and a Winchester M70 Featherweight reserved in .257 Bob so I'll add them to the list soon enough.
