[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2907371, member: 67552"] Right! I think most would agree, even back then - bigger critter gets a bigger, not bullet, but bigger gun. If you were a regular to the elk, moose, big bear woods you shot a an 06' or 45-70 in the timber something like that. If you were not a regular and on the trip of a lifetime, much like today if you could afford the trip you could afford a special rifle and 270 was not the first choice. If you needed bigger than a 130 then you probably wanted more gun, not more bullet. Then Roy shows up and the magnum craze begins. A 270 Win with a 130 still gives good velocity without mag recoil, but if you want more who could resist the option of a magical belted magnum in 7mm, 300, 338, or any of the Weatherbys? Still holds today minus the magic belt. For what most people ask the 130 to do it is hard to beat from the ol'270. For what you want the 150 to do from the 270 it is very EASY to beat with a bucket full of other cartridges. [/QUOTE]
