    A lot of people seem to be under the perception that the standard .270 isn't very capable, but with the right load and bullet it will surprise a few people!

    Uplandstalker, who I hunt with off this forum is running his .277 SST's at 3050fps and his 12 1/4" Bull Tahr that he shot at 520 yards on Saturday had the SST perfectly mushroomed just under the skin on the far side of the animal!
    reality is the 270 is perfectly capable as you say, but I don't want what everyone else has, I want to reinvent the wheel.
    oh, that and the amax 140g pill in 6.5 has a bc of .585
