Thread: Is it time to leave the 27 gang?

As the late great Jack O'Connor said. There are only two types of hunters. Those that love 270s and those that hate them. That is those that have used one and those who haven't............................ I love the earlier message saying 28 is great, 27 is crap and 26 is great too. How the hell does that work????? 27 must be a prime number or something. And as for projectiles, well yeah 27 doesn't have as many offerings but how many do you need? I only need one! I have tried many and never had any trouble finding one that suited what I wanted to do. To the point that I realised I really didn't need many and was better off picking a good one and then learning all about it. I think part of the problem with the 270 is that it is just so damn good. It doesnt really make sense in the way that it sits between 6mm and 7mm and is just a touch bigger than 6.5mm. But it works. And for that reason the great kiwi expert knocking machine comes out. To be frank give me any moderate calibre between 6mm and 30 cal and I will find the right projectile for the animal I am hunting...........and go hunting! They all work with the right bullet and shooter.
