6) Definetly see the merit of a 270 but to my knowledge you can't shoot an 85 gn projectile at 3800 + ft/sec out of a 270. I think this may be one of the flatter big game legal rounds one could load for out to 400 ish yards. That sounds pretty cool to me so im giving it a go this winter.

Its true there are cartridges like 280AI and 7mmWSM that are outstanding for ballistics and power output, but I am disappointed at their unavailability for ammo in most stores. I personally wont buy a unicorn cartridge no matter how fantastic it is.
