270 elk bullets

I thought I was bad about .270's, but wound up being worse with the .30-06. At one time I had 7 rifles in .30-06 5 were in M70 Classics, 1 each M670 Winchester and Stevens 200. I've toned it down a bit, just two rifles in .270 and one in .30-06. .308 caliber is still by far what I have the most 8 rifles in, followed by 5 in 6mm cals, 4 in .223 rifles, and then .270 Winchester 2.
I had a .277 Wolverine barrel for an AR-15 for a hot minute. However, I gave it away to a friend. He still isn't happy with me, I guess a free barrel cost him a lot of money by the time he built his AR and invested in reloading components. That's why I got rid of it, figured it was cheaper to give it away than build it out.

I don't feel so bad, now. I have 5 calibers right now and a few of them have 2-3 rifles. Thinking while I am reloading I may see what gets the best groups and what I enjoy shooting and shed a few...and maybe I won't.I thought I was bad about .270's, but wound up being worse with the .30-06.

I never regret buying a gun.I only regret selling them.I don't feel so bad, now. I have 5 calibers right now and a few of them have 2-3 rifles. Thinking while I am reloading I may see what gets the best groups and what I enjoy shooting and shed a few...and maybe I won't.

I've only regretted a few, most I was happy to buy something else with.

Some are so nice I cringe at the thought of bashing em up in the woods--others, like like tupperware savages and rugers--not so much.Thinking while I am reloading I may see what gets the best groups and what I enjoy shooting and shed a few...and maybe I won't.
I have a few really nice ones. I try to keep them from rubbing any of the other guns in my safe. So scared I will scratch them. The ones with polymer stocks and cerakote, bang them around all the time.
I have sold a few. Either did not enjoy shooting them or not practical. Like a beautiful 100 year old Winchester Model 12 16 gauge. Bought it and realized it did not shoot modern cartridges. Shoots a 2.5" shell. Could have gotten it refitted (which I could not get myself to do) or buy the special shells when they are available.

Just shot an elk last week with 165 grain 30.06 partition. Poor shot, too far back-still found elk piled up 600 yards off.
