Hey Nyles,
Well if you decide to go for it, you will definately have a rig capable of reaching out and touching something for sure.
This in my mind was the best choice for me for a couple of reasons.
First, I like the .270 caliber even though there aren't a lot of bullet weights from factory offereings.
Second was the ease of case forming and price of the cases verses some of the other A.M.'s. I have a tendency of loosing cases along the way for one reason or another. Especially if hunting. They just seem to get swallowed up by the grass or leaves.
Also on forming the cases, I use a Nosler 150gr solid base for my my FF loads, which would probably easily be switched out with a BT. I just had a good supply of new old stock on hand. I had shot some during the break in of the barrel and found they shot so well why not use them to hunt with. THe 169's work very well also.
Down here we had to drop off the commonly used loads due to the change in conditions we have verses others. We are also finding that AA-8700 is showing some potential for us as well.
The biggest thing your going to have to learn is how to hold your rig. It isn't just grab on and pic a target, it's more like slippin in behind your girl and cudling. IF you try to force the shot you will drive yourself nutty wondering why you can't get the groups. When I shoot mine, I am more or less only holding the rifle steady, with enough pressure from my cheek to allow me to focus on the target. For the most part it is a free recoil thing from there, when I touch the trigger. THe longer barrel will really show your minute movements at the further ranges. Once you get this in your head the groups are next.
Hope this helps,
