[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1682105, member: 78056"] I think that most manufacturers stick with 1:10 because it works as is for most hunters. I love my 270 and it shoots both 130 and 150 Nosler Partitions quite well. I killed a wounded antelope at 750 yards with a 150 Partition with the bullet going thru both lungs and leaving a decent sized hole on the off side. The goat, missing his lower jaw from a shot from a guy with a 7mm mag, died quickly as both lungs were reduced to mush. I would never have taken such a long shot under normal circumstances but this guy was going to starve to death if something wasn't done, which I couldn't stand for. Long range for me is usually 400 yds so I had no idea about hold over at such extreme range, so there were a lot of ranging shots before I finally got him. As the Partitions work perfectly for me, I see little use in changing anything with the rifle. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
