    well tomorrow Im off for a hunt,never been there before and unknown area completely...so thought about the short n light 222..... then the super reliable and accurate 223.... then used my brains and got the .270 out instead. maybe when I know what country is like and what ranges are likely to be the wee rifles will come for walk..but for now its better to have a bit of insurance,just incase its not ideal. forsure a 60-80grn .224 is good,but a 130-170grn .277 is gooderer LOL.
    now I actually have to find something t oshoot or its a moot point either way.
