[bone-collector]

I have had muskrat and fiddleheads before(we have them here to) , and think i tried catfish at a resteraunt once upon a time but not sure

 

[Gatehouse]

Sure, I'll visit, if you have some boar to shoot.. And I do NOT mean Bonesy!! :mrgreen:

We can drink the red wine and he can suck back thin beer :mrgreen:

BEER! Not just for breakfast any more!

Beer before dinner, wine with dinner, rye after dinner, the good Canadian compromise.

There are boar hunts down here for sure, and I believe BIGREDD has been on them..........but he did not use a .270 or a .280.........right, Redd?

Boar hunting is done in a can, so it might just suck

Shot 2 with the 300 win Mag 180 gr failsafes. a meat boar, and a trophy boar.
the 270 and 280 are just not adequate for boar hunting :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
you need atleast a 458, ot a 577 tyrannasaur

Saw one hit with a 300 gr Copper solid. out of a 50 cal ML 100 gr's of pyrodex.
FOlded up like a 2 dollar suitcase.


Beer, your morning barley sandwich

I can't help but notice that the .270 cal is only one vote behind the .280 in popular opinion... I am pleading with the .270 owners to step up to the plate... I am losing sleep over this one... and I know there is no more than 30 .280 owners in all the world... so lets put the .270 over the top... I need this... I really do... :roll: :? :| :lol:

[BIGREDD]

Nice first post relic 8) welcome to CGN... you are now officially in the fray... you may regret coming in on the right side of this cluster-chuck :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[PE90SHOOTER]

280 by a nose. It shoots heavier bullets better than the 270 and lighter bullets better than the 30-06.

 

[BIGREDD]

280 by a nose. It shoots heavier bullets better than the 270 and lighter bullets better than the 30-06.

But the .270 shoots most bullets...especially the mid-weight bullets better than both :roll: 8) :lol:

Time to get the pot up to a boil again ...
There is an article in Canadian Shooting Sports Bulletin that I thought BigRed would enjoy reading :
Cartridge Corner by Tony Bernardo....The .280 Remington

I especially liked this paragraph and I quote ..." It seems the .270 is the cartridge of the masses, living out almost a century of spectacular excellence .The .280 Remington is an even better choice, the choice of the aficionado, the lover of guns, game, performance and steadfast reliability in the field."
Hey, I are an "aficionado"...and yesterday I couln't even spell it . :lol:
