[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1445808, member: 307"] One of my first deer rifles was a Ruger M77 in .270Win. Killed a truckload of whitetails with that rifle and actually started my LR endeavor with that stick. I have to chuckle as that was before lazer RF's were common accessories and I made and used an old style farmers yardstick. Here in NC that was two tobacco sticks nailed together on one end and held 36" apart at the other end with another tobacco stick shortened and used as a brace about middle way. I used 3/8" stainless tubing for mine to prevent lifting a splinter and it was weather resistant! My next 270 was a .270WSM in a Win70 Coyote. Nice rifle/caliber combo but I had to do alot of load development and fell outta love with it and traded it off. Now I have a .270 Allen Magnum that easily pushes 170gn Bergers and 169.5gn Wildcat RBBT ULD's over 3400fps with a mild load of US869. It wears a 30" Lilja 3 groove w/1-8 twist. It's a beast at 14lbs naked but shoots incredibly well. Something I've never figured is why this bullet isn't praised more. Anyone with common sense can study a machinst decimal to mm conversion chart and see that the 270 is actually a "true" 7mm. No wonder it kills so darn good! johnnyk. [/QUOTE]
