OK all of you closet 270 lovers...
My dad has finally decided, at 72 years old, that he's tired of recoil.
He has been shooting a steel-buttplate M760 in 30-06 for the last 60-ish years. I've shot it, and don't enjoy it at all.
So yesterday he tells me that he's found a 270, but still in a M760. He loves his 760, so doesn't want to switch to a bolt action, etc. And yes, I know you can find 760s in 243, etc, but this one is already bought and home, so, 270 it is going to be.
He knows he can shoot lighter stuff out of it than his 30-06, so he bought it.
Now, my job is to load some ammo for him.
I've always been a conventional bullet guy, but think it might be time to dabble into the monometals to get to the lighter bullets for this one.
Barnes 110 gr TTSX? So, has anybody loaded 270 stuff with bullets on the lighter end, but still appropriate for big game (by that, I mean whitetails in PA)?
Any suggestions, while I also go searching the various bullet sites?
Thanks!
