I agree, leave as 270. People are getting approximately 3100fps using superformance and 145 eld x. That roughly delivers 1700ft-Ib at 500 yards which is plenty.

Seems to be more people hunting public land now than I can certainly remember compared to when I was starting out hunting. Spots in the Ruahines would often only have 2 to 5 vehicles in the carpark...

Oryx are an awesome projectile for 0-350 in the 270 as are the 140 Interlocks and of course the 150 partition. If you're regularly gonna be shooting further I'd look at 145 eldx or 150 VLD
