[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1780204, member: 69192"] Only for some of us it's the [U][I]"KING", [/I][/U]some of us did not drink their Koolade!! A few years ago before the marketing hype that ".280 Ackley Improved" was the do all, 5000 yard, anti-tank round that would stop marauding missiles in the sky! Now it's the 6.5 Creedmoor, or something that is "6.5. In a year or two the ".270" caliber will be the new go to round; and......there WILL be bullets manufactured for it. The "new" straight-walled cartridge being lauded is the ".350 Legend", lord knows there are much better rounds out there then this one, but......it's something being promoted to sell ammunition and guns. I'm a fan of the .270 caliber, and for me it will always be what I need for the game, my shooting capabilities, and the distances that I intend to hunt at. Is the .270 the only round to meet what my hunting needs are, no there certainly are others, but this is my choice. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the "6.5" calibers, just stating that there are others that are just as good, especially when one puts [U][I]"application"[/I][/U] into the equation!!
