[QUOTE="diriel, post: 618909, member: 26983"] After having read your post more than once, I would honestly say Think .277 and think Berger 170 grain Hybrid EOL hunting bullets.... 270 AI: hey it was never really all that popular, but with this upcoming bullet and new powders it looks pretty good! You could wildcat the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum to 270... That actually looks pretty good on paper, and it should feed very well. I am not a 270 nut, I am a long range shooting enthusiast. There is also the 7mm 195 grain Berger Hybrid EOL hunting bullet, but I think that might get into enough recoil to make you stop and consider after about 60 rounds or so... looks awesome though. I am a 6.5 NUT!! But in all honestly for a LONG range elk type hunter I have to admit it may not quite Haul-The-Mail so to speak. Now out to about 500 it is a great caliber! Maybe not for elk, but then again...it might depend on how fast you get that pill moving down range too... Another 270 option would certainly have to be the 270 WSM. This little jewel should get things moving quite well, especially if you make it on either an Intermediate length action or a long action. I would hesitate to make it on a short action with a 170 grain bullet. Have a good one sir, Gary [/QUOTE]
