Probably the most versatile 270 I've had (and I've had one or two) would have been 19" T3, it was nice to point and carry with dpt on it and could still poke 150 LRABs out at 2850 which puts the hurt...

Mooseman shot a corker of a BoP sambar about 3 years ago - a really big beast - with his 6.5x55 and the 143gr ELD-X. I remember the thread and photos on here clearly. There was photos of the hide...
