I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.
A thread like this is one reason I like HT so much. On the other forums I visit at least 50% of the answers would be those deriding the 270 as some archaic, pointless cartridge. For a non-handloader, I don't think the 270 can be beat. $23.99 ammo can be had anywhere. The 6.5 PRC is a... -
RIP Dash Crofts
I loved the Summer Breeze album. In the mid-70's as a teenager I can remember putting it on the turntable, laying back and absorbing it for hours. Sigh.- Brad

Bark River Knife Closes
Of course, absolutely worth sharing... I was just sort of thinking out loud about my generation. Didn't mean to offend. However, the two could be tied together - Bark River turned to Chinese mfg/steel to stay afloat because sales were slumping, and they were losing money - ie, "There aren't...- Brad

Not surprising. There aren't enough baby boomers left buying knives. The world has moved on.- Brad

So which caliber, in what rifle ? The 6.5 Creed, the 6.5x55 Swede, or the .257 Roberts
You obviously never read the actual thread, because your post makes it clear you entirely missed what it was about. But at least you're smugly confident posting what you "think" it's about... thumbs up. -

Well, no. The 6.5 CM can use the same bullets as the Swede, just at about 50fps less velocity. Results will be the same. Charles Sheldon took an inordinate amount of Alaskan game (with dozens of grizzlies) with the 6.5x54 Mannlicher at velocities lower than the 6.5 Creedmoor can achieve. Ditto... -

Nice to hear that kind of experience! I will say though, I'd be curious for further explanation re your negative comments about the 270 vs. the 6.5x55. What bullets did you see problems with with the 270" Frangible 130's? If so, I can't see how that's a fair comparison to a stout 150 or 160... -

I concur, but only with conventional bullets. All-copper completely changes this.
