[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 433085, member: 4191"] I hate to even ask. But for the benefit of the OP and his son, is there any other caliber bullet that's jinxed like the .284 is? And why isn't a .280 Remington or a .284 Winchester every bit the cartridge the .270 Winchester is? Is it that extra 0.007" of bullet diameter? That 0.007" is somehow bad, but add another 0.024 and now we've got a caliber bullet that walks on water? Too funny... Quick... Somebody notify John Burns that his selected caliber for elk, out WEST mind you, just don't have the mo-jo. I have no objection to opinions. I don't object to the efforts of others to gain consensus and a following. I don't even object if others get strung out tighter than a banjo string when others fail to see things their way.
