    I had that problem too. Caused all manner of consternation at the range with the RO. Ended up giving about 100 rounds of them to him as I was lucky to get 1 in 5 make a bigger noise.

    Have avoided .270 ever since I fired my first centrefire, it being a .270 and me being 12years old, broken collarbone put me off for life. Think I'll stick with the 7mm Rem Mag and the .223..........good luck with your purchase tho.

    nothing wrong with a 270 its just that it is one of those booring cartridges that just work, i meen who wants a gun that just works?

    If you use something other than A-maxs, ie a bullet that is actually designed for hunting with controlled expansion, then the fast little calibres (.270 and .243) kill far more efficiently and don't damage nearly as much meat...

    A 7RM still packs a booting though!

    Not to sound too much like a noob here but...
    What exactly is wrong with the .270?

    Im relatively new to hunting and got a rough but solid .270 for my 1st rifle.
    Most of the people i know with rifles have .270s
    And the only times i've been let down by the rifle/calibre is has been through my own fault (GOD DAMN BUCK FEVER!)

    Nothing is wrong with it as such.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
