Thread: 270 in a 20in barrel or 308 in 18in barrel

Further than that and it needs a step up in bullet weight and velocity, to a saum or wsm etc
And whats this 'high shoulder at long range' aiming point ? Worst place to shoot them when velocity is dropping off unless you mean the spine like a high base of neck shot, even that is a fluke

so you have sold the 44 magnum then???? stones/glass houses

aiming high on shoulder...NOT FOR high shoulder allows bullet to drop into chest destroying lungs etc the ideal shot placement under 350 yards to anchor animal...

no I havent confirmed your bias at all...far from it.....

Would you like to buy it ? Open to offers.

Aiming for the shoulder at long range 'allows the bullet to drop into the leg' resulting in a wounded lost suffering animal
