But a .270 isn't enough to justify it.
.450-400 might be though...
"The .270 Winchester makes a nice “pop-boom” sound. The handloaded 150 grain Hornady spirepoint left the muzzle at 2960 fps and hit the Black Wildebeest high through the shoulder at a slight quartering angle backwards. He fell over, swished his tail a couple times, and that was it. He made the record book, and is a very handsome trophy."

just for lol'z
I was thinking a new AR for me would be .308 win, which means the AR-10 sniper platform.
There's the $$$ I was dodging....
It could be a $5k build If I save my shekels for a year or so.
Or I raid my retirement account, which seems more and more likely.
sound like a plan....just make sure to get that trigger time....$10,000 builds wont get you there.....
