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.



Brad,
You're up!

I'll go work on some popcorn....
