[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 594116, member: 2693"] 270: My first rifle ever. One of my favorite calibers. My most often chosen rifle on hunts around here where I can rifle hunt (Kentucky, Missouri, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina). I have 2 and a 3rd will be built very shortly. My Krieger barrel has waited long enough. Thought hard about a WSM but I am pretty sure I'll just do another 270 Win. Don't know what "long ranges" means to you but I've got a 150 VLD load in one of them that I would use on the biggest of bull elk at 500-800 yards w/o hesitation. I don't think I'd consider the bigger bullets by Matrix in the regular 270 Win simply because I think you'd be getting over the "benefits" curve from velocity loss. I could be wrong! I'd reserve the Matrix bullets for a 270 AM, 270 Weatherby, or WSM. Powders: 4831, 4350, Re22, Re19, H1000, VV N160, VV N165. Try magnum primers! [/QUOTE]
