[QUOTE="Pbailey, post: 526488, member: 35393"] I own a 223, 270, and also a 30-30 and a 45-70. The 223 is a sweet shooter with the 55 grain FMJs from black hills, resting off my truck I got a 3/8" group. I am just getting into hand loading. The 270 is a Remington 700 ADL that I have considered building rather than buying a whole new set up, but am not sure if it has the umph to kill elk at extended ranges. Or if it would be more worth it to keep the gun as a closer range gun and start over for a longer range gun. I do have a place to practice, and would be practicing about once a week. The rifle would be used for deer sized game, and elk as well. I plan on putting a brake on the rifle, unless I buy one that already has a break, and putting on some ear plugs under the ear muffs for a little extra protection. As for the STW he showed me a 1'x2' target with 16 hits on it, and I was impressed. But it looks like you guys are able to do a bit better! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
