[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 271527, member: 2736"] Roy is right about the 270. One of my favorite deer rifles was a 270 win. and I won my first 600yrd match with it against a bunch of target rifles with 32x scopes (Mine had a K 10 weaver) so I know they will shoot. The only problem is the bullet selection for .277 dia. is very limited. I used the 130gr class bullets for deer size game and the 150gr for Elk. But with the accubonds that are now available I would recomend the 140gr. If you like the 270 then you would love the 280rem and there are loads of bullets in .284 dia. if you ever deside to have it re barreled. As far as long range with the 270win, they are capable of great accuracy and only limited in deliver'd energy at very long distance. So look at the max distance with a given load that will produce the energy needed for the game hunted. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
