    Just get a .270

    Watched some vids the last days and they kind of tell the story I do.

    One on the 7mm BC. one on 7prc, the other on .270.

    It seems like really the ammo companies have forgotten a few of the basics re their customers. Yep sure we are prone to buying something flashy and new. But we will soon realise it has problems and it seems so obvious too me that our general limits on recoil will outlast a new fad.

    coincidentally I watched the videos on the 7PRC and 7mmBackcountry last night. A bit disappointing for the bloke with the 7mm BC not able to extract the fired cases of one brand. was going pretty good for a 16.5 inch barrel though.

    Yeah. What struck me though is these guys are not liking the recoil. It seems that really these calibres are special purpose. Not all round hunting rifles because of their bullet weights and velocities combined.

    I think you are going to hell. Modern people can't handle the inconvenient truth. I believe Moses bought a .270 down from the mountain with him.

    He only took it to hand in to the police. He didn't want it on the mountain, and wasn't gonna keep it.

    Whanahuia, I think you have some work ahead of you on the crusade. The inclusiveness brigade has influenced the sensible brigade.

    It's so old fashioned. The new flasher 6.8/06 is so much better. The 7mm 06 is awesome cartridge it's the fake 7mm,those 284 imposters that are in trouble.
