The Ruger is my hunter, the Winchester a nice target rifle.

When taking a shot on game the bigger 270 gets the nod, a 140 grain Nosler Accubond w/ its .496 bc & 3000 fps mv bucks crosswinds & slices atmosphere.

Gonna have to make do till that .338 Lapua magically shows up.

The 140 cain't hang with a 22" SAAMI 243Win.

I'd rather be slingin' 162's,than beating on things with my 1-10" 338Ultra. Tough to arrange a 338Lapua that's throated/twisted right,over the counter. Many are 12",which slams doors from the get-go. Really very tough to beat the Ultra,when talking .338" bores and a repeater. The 250 and 300 Scenar's are tough acts to follow,though I've been praying to Little Baby Jeezus for a .338" A-Max for many moons(would like 'em in .257" too).

It's ALL about the boolit and .277's are hosed for that reason,whether they SPC,06,Wby or otherwise.
