jeepkid,
Would you say thatNEITHER the 243 or the 270 canhandleBOTH the 45gr and 110gr loads accurately?
So if I understand, you feel the 270 and the 30-06 will handleBASICLLY the same work.
Also do you feelthe 243WILLhandle the mid range WELL, given the proper rate of twist in which to carry the heavier loads?
The only question remaining isCANeitherthe 243 orthe 270 handle that widerange of loads?
Does onesettle on the lighter end(243)or the heavier end(270)when looking fora back-up forboththe 223 andthe 30-06?
