Default RE: 300+ yard Rifle which one?

No I disagree with the 270 WBY . The reason I say this is becouse, I have wanted a 270 WBY for a number of years now. Until I seen a friend use one on a Oryx hunt last year.

He was shooting custom Nos. reloads. The Oryx was about 250 yards away, and he hit him three times in the lungs and NEVER even phased the Oryx. I ended up giving him MY 7mm Rem. Mag loaded with 175 gr. Horn. reloads. One shot at 300 yards put him on his butt.

Some here may say that he might have been dead before he drew a bead. Some may even say that he had so much lead in him that he could'nt move.

I say that the 270 WBY isnt even close to the 7 mm Rem. mag.

If you are looking for a 300 to 400 yard cal. then you dont have to look very far. A 30-06 or a regular 7 mm Rem. mag will fit the bill nicely.

Just my opinion.
