I'll pull the trigger on a 400 yard shot all fn day with my 270win and make shite bleed. Most people I know that shoot 300s and 7mm rems struggle at 300.
And then I step in with my 30.06 at over your 400

Point is that a lot of folks buy a magnum caliber and think it translates into ling range accuracy. They will take an off the shelf rifle with a bad trigger and a crap stock, stick shite bases and rings on it with a cheap scope and cheap ammo and think they have a long range rifle. I see it all the time at the range. Guys with 300 winnies shooting 3" groups at a hundred yards and calling it good. Some times they're are right cause it's all they are gonna get when you factor in the bruise on their shoulder and the scope scar on their nose. Point is look more at the big picture and not so much on the round.
And you're right, a guy with a well put together rig chambered in 300 mag (that can shoot it) has got a superior animal. There aren't that many walking the Louisiana deer woods.

Didn't say o wouldn't do it over 400. But the situation would have to be right.
I'm sure some of you boys are surgeons with your mags. I have some magnums and like them, but I think most people are better served with a standard caliber and working their way up.

Damn son. A little practice makes 275 a cake walk.
eta: not knocking you. You did the right thing by not taking a shot you were not comfortable with.

When I bought my 270 WSM it was hard nott to get the 308. I went with the WSM cause it was the newest thing out when I got it.

They have new bullets coming out that should really help the 270 wsm. IMO the lack of high BC bullets in the past have held it back. Still, it's a great round.

Flamefighter, you pass on it cause of the shot or because it was a 270? 275 is right in the 270's lunch box.
