[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 722491, member: 46742"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I guess I am really limiting myself by not reloading. I was strictly comparing factory ammo and from what I could see, the 270wsm has most of them beat when I factored in what I personally was looking for. And as for toughness Joe King, you are right, big has nothing to do with one’s ability to withstand pain. But at 54 years old, my body is not as resistant or resilient as it once was and I don’t see it getting any better down the road.
