Thread: A question for the doubters

It's all a balancing act. If you like your rifle,whatever it is,it's good to carry n easy to shoot well,chances are you will take it over anything else...trick is to find or tune a load to do what you want it to do so you happy all around. I carry a few heavier or Barnes loads for my 223 to fill that requirement. Did carry subsonic round for 308 and 7.62x39mm for small stuff. The mighty 30/06 was replaced in military by a shorter lighter round,the 308, it in turn got replaced by shorter n lighter again. The 223. We hunters enjoy the lighter aspect very much...the less recoil and noise bit even more... It's all about balance and what your happy with. Given a worked up boar/stag/bull I would be much happier with the 30/06 SOMETIMES extra horsepower is nice to have on hand.

Oh and the 270 belongs in a museum

why is it on the threads that sooner or later someone comes out with a widiculous statement - long live the mighty 270 still serving us proudly

Cause it can take it on the chin and just keep on keeping on doing the job. The EBRG must be enjoying the respite now we leave her alone in favour of taking the piss out of 6.5 costsmore owners with their manbuns.
