[QUOTE="sportmuaythai, post: 553342, member: 17802"] I wouldn'argue with you about what 270 win can accomplish. I've killed thick antlered moose 66" and a grizzly that got my guide the silver buckle that year, in Yukon. Then I killed an elk in Montana, and another in Arizona, plus my biggest eland in Zambia, and my biggest well maned lion in Tanzania. My earlier, much better maned but quite smaller in body lion, was shot a year before with .375 H&H, in the same area. Both were shot in similar condition at similar distance. They expired similarly, and you couldn't tell which caliber did a better job. Thanks to both of you for taking time to reply to my post. I'll be looking to try out the .277 165GR VLD from Matrix. If my Sako will stabilize same, I may get it rechambered into an improved version. BTW, I previously hunted when 4x scope was the norm, and if you can't see enough to shoot, you stalk closer. That's why I'm a believer in hydrostatic shock, and nosler PT. I'm now hoping to extend my range to <700 yards, so will relegate to high BC with thin jacket bullets. [/QUOTE]
