[QUOTE="britz, post: 231683, member: 7865"] well Jluyt, your going to have to give some more information. What game are you going after, are you going to shoot lots of paper with it? Do you reload? Are you going to put a muzzle brake on it? What is your recoil tolerance? Do you want to be able to purchase shells almost anywhere or are you willing to order/make them in advance? Is it going to be a carry rifle, or a true long range rig? The 270 is a great cartidge, one of the best to come off of the 06. One of it's downfalls is simply that the caliber (.277) is a little more limited than others in bullet selection for real good long range BC. There are some very good bullets out there, but other calibers like 6.5, 7mm, 308, 338 simply offer more selection in the bullet choice. [/QUOTE]
