Youve taken mulies, goats and elk with "great results" with a 257wby yet in the next post you say the .277 is too small for Elk. Ummm did I miss something??
If the 270 is too much for deer why is a 7mm a good choice for an all arounder? Were talking about 8/1000ths of an inch?....larger?
Sorry stubblejumper just not following you here. Personally I dig the 270 short mag.
