Thread: A question for the doubters

Gimp Talked about high shoulder and spine for example.

But I have a question in return. I dont suffer from recoil weariness, or flinch etc. Ill shoot my 270 just as well as I will my 223, when I had it. As far as I can remember, Ive only lost 1 animal in the last 7 years wounded.
What calibre would you recommend I pick up to take hunting, and why?

If you haven’t previously used a 22 centrefire with 77TMK, 73, 80 or 88gr ELD-M, then take one of them hunting. Why? Well it’ll do the job, and you may just enjoy it.

That didnt answer my question.

I enjoy hunting. Im confident with whatever i'm using. Im after an unbiased opinion given the parameters Ive laid out. 270 or 223 given Ill shoot either as accurately.
