cool.

didnt realize you had a 243.

the one if only advantage my 2506 has over my 270 is shootability. if thats an advantage at all. i tend to think that whatever advatage the 270 does have over the smaller. more girlish calibers is that girls like me put thousands of rounds through them and get very good.

ive had my 270 some 7 years longer than my 2506. but i bet ive shot as many as twice as many rds through my 2506.

there a was time when the 270 was the best caliber ever. there wasnt anything bigger or smaller that would ever be better. i mean nothing you could show me knew this, old that faster more energy there and i wouldnt care.

i dont even know how i found out about a 2506. probly the dang internet. i started reading alot, bought a 22/250 as my first rifle and realized that this shooting hunting sport could be alot more fun, with nothing more than lowering recoil.

something planted a 2506 bug, ohhhhhh i shot one. then i had to have one and got one this one.

and its that bug that was planted in me to get the 2506 thats driving me. i could have done everthing i wanted with my 270. but at the cost of not ever knowing what i was missing in other calibers. but then i wouldnt know so it wouldnt matter. ??

but i do know and im glad for that. becausethis world and perspective i see hunting and shooting in has forever changed. and all the thanks goes to the small 2506

i like small calibers that you know better than the back of your hand.

these in my opion are acurate and lethal on all but the largets game. keep in mind the right shooter behind the trigger. and how small the small caliber is

and thats not exscludeing the 270 from that list of lethal deadly weapons. and it is on my list. heck it should be. i started this hunting life with it and its done me better than good.

but as I evolve the rifle doesnt get used near as much as my smaller stuff. that doesnt mean that its now not as good as it was just ive changed and my opions and views are now begining to form in certian direction. that in the begining might have strayed and faulterd. but now it seems to be holding steady. in one direction



this thread realy isnt even about the 270 vs wsm, its it. ? it realy cant be.

the fact is ive tried bigger and smaller and i like the smaller than 277 calibers for everything. im not pushing my opion on you just putting it out there for you and everyone else to see and think. heck maybe even learn something.

so when you see me kinda downing the 270win, im realy not im just giveing my point of view from what i see from the direction ive been looking in.

thank you
Evan
