[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1955728, member: 53978"] For sub-30 cal bullets the 270 Win has a great balance of powder capacity for the bullet. A 6.8 PRC would be great, but then again, the 270 Win already has what is needed 0-500 yards. For further distance a person needs a special rig so they can rebarrel a 7" 270 Win to handle the 168gn Hammer Hunter .277". Go for if you want. Hornady needs at least an 8" twist if the come out with a PRC. Myself, I think that the .277" is about optimum for deer-sized game and any 270-Win owner can hold their head high. (Of course that includes its .284" twins.) And while they will work on elk, I personally prefer a bigger bullet for game 500 pounds and up. A 338WM with 210 or 225 mono (HH or TTSX) is awesome. But that's me. I like 375 and 416, too, but that is because I do a lot of walking around where the (cape) buffalo roam. [/QUOTE]
