Let me say this, the original post is a good question but one big thing is missing here, he wants a bullet that shoots flat. No one has mentioned barrels, i have two 270's a 7400 autloader and a 700 bolt sendero with a heavy varmit barrell, same cal. one will blow the other away in ballistics. Look at all the cal. they are all good but look at the build of the gun, flat shooting with knock down and good price REMINGTON 700 SENDERO awesome gun
