[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2907149, member: 5352"] Maybe folks who only pick bullets purely based on BC, twist calculators, and minute differences in ballistic charts should pause and think a little on this. The 270 / 130 load is an easy button load. There is plenty of power for vast majority of hunting, light recoil, and no need for dialing or anything fancy out to 400 yards. That covers about 99.9% of hunting that actually happens and only requires cheap factory loads. I realize this is a long range site that tends toward the minutia which are needed for extremes but the 270 base factory load takes you right to where that minutia really starts to matter with zero fuss or comprimise The 150 load has traditioanally been a heavy game or brush load in the 270 not a geneal purpose hunting load. There are several availaible now with BC above .500 if want to stretch legs a bit in 1-10. Not as good as the .6+ that can get with faster twist but I notice the PRS guys do pretty well with 6mms and similar BC bullers Lou [/QUOTE]
