FFD - great story.
Now that gentleman knows I bet how to shoot and knows his gun and load. Amazing what folks that actually use their gear can tell you on what works and doesn't. These folks would make better ads then the ones we see too, but where would all the hype be with out these adds and Jack O'Conner - oops lol. I prefer the 280.
That stated I did talk my younger brother into buying a remmy 700 in 270 this wk. Felt it would fit his needs over everything else he was looking at and cheaper to boot.
I had shot a buddies Pre 64 270 and shoot amazing with it and my older brother uses a 270 for Elk. He states he gets really good groups and hits 6" balloons at 400. He isn't know in the family to be a shooter, but he hunts his **** off and always brings in the meat. Thinking about it, maybe I ought to go visit and see what his rifle and load can do in a good shooters hands lol
Best woth the rifle /cal choice and hunt,
sb
