[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1573518, member: 69192"] Great question/post. I'm presently building a .270 Ackley Improved, Ruger 77ts, 26 inch Lilja barrel (1-8), pillar bedding and some trigger work. I chose the Ackley Improved because I had a long action donor rifle, and....I wanted something different. "IF" I were starting from scratch, I would do the .270 WSM instead. It's just a lot easier for components and the cartridge has some great ballistics. I have a friend with a Winchester mod 70 in .270WSM, took it for a mule deer/antelope hunt in Wyoming. When he showed up, the outfitter asked him what he was shooting, the outfitter told him that it was an excellent cartridge for the hunt. He shot both an antelope and a mule deer, don't remember the distances, 400+ on one and 300+ on the other; DRT. I've also shot his rifle, it is quite easy on the shoulder. I personally do not believe that you could go wrong with any of the .270 cartridges. I would suggest that you look at the cost of brass for the .270 Weatherby, it's quite expensive to shoot. [/QUOTE]
