can't say I'd have chosen the caliber you did but congrats on your choice... I used the 270 in Germany for years to shoot stag and everything else that came along... good luck with your new toy...

The other choice would have been the 280. You then would have the bullet weight of the 7MM bullets with the velocity of the 270. You may have a problem though with ammo for the 280.
no problem with either one just neck down 30-06 brass to make either round... and I must agree with you on the 280, quite the under rated killing machine...
