    Cheers, good advice.

    I always clean with a stoney creek bore guide , the problem is I don't keep the rifles long enough to be able to tell if its worth it or not.

    Carbon rod and bore guide for me. Not sure I'm sold on the need for a bore guide if you are careful and use a good quality rod.

    So me old mate can you please explain what is so wrong with a .270?
    I shoot deer pretty much exclusively between 5 and 300m.
    Maybe the odd goat.

    So its more about dont like because others dont like?
    I realise its not a great LR cal but me thinks if they invested as much reasearch into the projectiles as say a 7mm it would be better than it is.
