[QUOTE="Littlehud, post: 1573794, member: 85418"] I've been shooting a .270 Winchester Remington 700 ADL for 45 yrs. now. I bought it new when I was 14, and have never felt the need for anything else. It has been VERY accurate, and killed everything I have shot with it. First deer was 500 yds. No problem. Never had more than a 4X scope on it either, although my eyes are getting a little old these days. Never shot an elk with it, because I use my bow for that. I like the 140 gr. Hornady spbt as it has nearly the same energy as the 150 gr. but a bit less recoil, and is as accurate as I can shoot. My son has a .260 Remington that I really like, and I considered swapping the barrel for a .260, but after looking at the ballistics I decided to keep the .270. It out shoots the 6.5's enough to keep it. Never did like the 7mm Mag. or bigger. The .270 does the job, and I don't care much for more recoil. [/QUOTE]
