[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2808051, member: 69192"] Congratulations on finding a rifle that you like. They are good shooters, I don't think this cartridge is going on the obsolete list in the too near future. If you are a reloader and were looking for a wildcat cartridge I would recommend the .270 Ackley Improved. The Ackley has a little more horsepower, I start out using load data for the .270WSM and move up from there. If you were going to build a rifle for long distance shooting I would recommend the .270WSM only put a 1:8 twist barrel to shoot the heavies with. Good luck with your new rifle you will like the cartridge. I have a friend who recently went on a mule deer hunt in Wyoming (?) where he took a very nice buck at 484 yards, factory ammunition. He said the buck was laying down, when he shot the buck never moved, so.... he shot it a second time only to find that the first shot anchored the animal. [/QUOTE]
