Bringing it all together and trying out new gear sure can be fun. Sounds like a good and satisfying time. And great that Ryan blooded his new "not .270". Thanks for the story.

I have shot a few bull tahr but have yet to shoot one further than 250m away. Where have I gone wrong? I think for shots out to 400m then a flat shooting load, a good range finder with TBR and...

Marlin 917VS .17HMR heavy barrel. This fell in my lap a while back, It was too good a price to turn down. It needs a decent scope and a proper bipod, but other than a chip in the chrome on the bolt...

dannyb I too had the same experience with jumping the eldx until i started playing with my 7mm08. Mag length was pretty average accuracy wise (and huuuge jump). Tried matching the CBTO to my super...

I had a blast on those Vanguards the other day, they're good for the money but dont hold a candle anywhere near ELs

Listen to Ryan. Nothing wrong with a 270 and they are still one of the better performers for general open country hunting from zero to 500, despite what all the text book experts will tell you. And...

I find that fiddling with different projectiles and powder usually fixes my itches too. At least temporarily. GSP HUNTER I'm certain that the .270 will do everything that you ask of it on Tahr...

They dont even need to be crazy hot or anything. I had a 20" barreled 270 pushing 150 LRAB at 2850 and smacked over all sorts of stuff way out to 600yds+ with it no worries, done more hunting with...
