Ditto.....I like the 7.62 and the 6.5x55 so maybe this clone of the .270 JDJ they are naming 6.8 SPC will work a bit better ?
Stay safe !

Alaskan friends tell me they often arm their wives and children with 6.5x55s...because the recoil is light...and it hauls in a LOT of meat...BIG stuff...every year.
The .270 has proved itself in the hunting fields of America for very many years, and I would really like to see it take its place in our fighting military.
I have been studying the ballistics of .30'06-cased rounds...and am literally amazed at .270 cal. ballistics. I hardly see a reason to own a .25'06 now, which I had been considering. (probably will own both though...Muttly being...well...Muttly!)
