.270 is my favorite caliber.
That new Barrett .416 is my new Lottery winning dream gun...
So yeah, I'm just sitting here rocking back and forth wanting all that money.
Q&A - You, me and Jack O'Connor.
I have some once-fired (in my rifle) R-P cases that I need to neck size and check case length, then plan to try a recipe of 58-58.5 H4831SC behind some Nosler 140BTs (or their Hornady counterparts - I think I have both on the reloading bench).
Trouble is, I don't have anything, in the near term, to hunt with that load. Last 3-4 times I have hunted Texas deer, have used a Rem 600 6mm for the little critters. Love it when guys in deer camp pop off and say something like "Watcha gonna do with that pea-shooter (or poodle-shooter)?"
I don't answer the question until the next day when someone asks how many shots to bag the deer. "Just one, of course."
The rifle has been 3/3 for one shot kills - 2 whitetails and one Sika.
Chup - Aw, how 'bout a fine bespoke English double or a nice heavy barrelled '98 large ring in .375 H&H?
Or .460 Nitro Express?
Thanks, buddy. I couldn't pull Jack O'Connor's name from my memory bank. I loved reading his stuff. He preached shot placement over all else and the .270 with a 130 grain bullet sighted in at about 125 yards, was good for a deer sized animal out to 250 yards without having to worry about anything but holding dead on.
