[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1517524, member: 85987"] How much load development have you done? to get it to that 2inch mark? Store bought, how many different types did you shoot and which shot best? Do you know how to use a ballistic app? Which ones do you use? Glass if you know what your load does you can buy a ballistic turret or even have a reticle made for that load. If you don't practice in the wind your woefully unprepared to shoot at game in the wind. As has been stated being able to hit a target in a controlled situation isn't shooting at game in an uncontrolled situation. Your 270 wsm has more than enough to hunt deer sized game with the right bullet/load combination. Your limits should be where you can hit a milk jug 100% of the time. This is hunting. Your not in a fire for effect situation where a wounding is the same as a killshot. There is a lot of good advice in the previous posts by many members. The theme is knowing your gear and your abilities. If you lack in either department there are man on this thread that can offer help in shooting loading equipment and access. If you uncomfortable with that try this Video your range sessions, purchase a chronagraph#1. If your not a reloader purchase a box of Hsm 140 game changer, Fed fusion 150, Winchester 140 accubond and Hornady 143 precision hunter. Thoroughly clean your rifle between each change of the ammo. No more than 5 shots in 20 minutes bring a 22 to practice your wind reading/correcting skills. Once you start post up and people can direct you in the proper way with shooter technique to eliminate some possible errors in the basics. How to overcome some things that may be above your current skill level. And get you up to the level you wish to shoot at [/QUOTE]
