[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1601903, member: 1940"] Growing up, a best friends dad shot a 270 and 130 factory loads. He killed elk every year. Most within a couple hundred yards but when they were out there 4-500 yards he held over and killed elk. He’d shot that gun a lot and knew where it hit. 12-14 years ago I found a NIB Cooper with outrageous up-graded wood... in 270. I studied and found just how close to the 7 mag it was and bought it. I shot marmots with it because 135 grain matchkings shot a pretty consistent half moa. Longest shot 749 yards. I also shot elk with it. Pretty ho-hum, bullet in boiler room and a short retrieval. That’s one I wish I still had! This year I’m going with a .284 Winny in a little NULA rifle. It was that or another .270 but I’m going light these days. [/QUOTE]
