My two friends dropped two yesterday Colorado mountains, two weeks ago we sighted their rifles in , one a 30-06, and one 270 both were sighted in at 400 yards, both,they can shoot and it paid off one bull was shot at 350, the one on its side bullet entered where stick was placed marking the spot, drt, the other at just 400 across a canyon, that bull made it 50 yards wobbling and went down.I spotted for them on the 400 yard sight in.Next year I may hit it with them.The one bull was taken with the 270 shown, the other the 06 the 06 severed the bulls neck and he never moved dropped in tracks.

YES! I am tired of all the "I must have the latest XXXXX' in order to havest a XXXXX.
Don't you wonder how folks of old ever were able to live with such 'under powered' firearms?

I wouldn't hesitate one bit to take a 270 for elk, mulies ,or moose.

There ain't much, that is screwy-er than sighting in for 400 yards.....

I certainly agree.
This brain isn't geared to hold low.
