[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 554202, member: 13632"] Long range hunting has brought me back to rifle hunting in full force, I was almost done hunting, it was kinda getting boring and I enjoyed just calling for others or spotting and really only hunted to bring home some meat and cull elk and deer. Long range hunting is full on awesome, it motivates the thinker and pushes a guy to learn new skill which I enjoy very much! If you have a love for the 270 I would strongly suggest keeping track of Roys project, and if you have a 1-10 twist get your hands on some Matrix 165's! The Matrix 165 is running around a .650-660 BC and we're shooting them at 2835 fps in a 270 Win, pushing them and I have a 270 WSM set up to shoot them at 3053 idling them along, the 150 Berger will run nicely at 3250fps. Next will be to set up a barrel for the 175 Matrix with a .700+ BC :D Then I'll move on to the 338's also looking at a 375 but that bumps me into a higher tax bracket :D This can turn into a severely acute addiction, enjoy!!!!!
