I thought it was his arrogance and tendency to "tell it like it is" that defined him. That's what I loved about him! :chuckle:

I got out today and shot the 270 a little more. Groups are holding a touch under 1 MOA at 200 yards, so I'm happy with it. Taking into account the bullet I'm using is just a conventional hunting bullet and the 35* temps today, 1 MOA isn't bad at all. Velocity was 2725 fps from the 18" barrel. I'll probably call this a done load for now and go see if I can kill a coyote or something with it.

Tagging, I am going to start a 6.5 grendal build, but have thought a while about a 270...

If you're looking for a hunting/LR shooting round I think the Grendel would be great. If I were looking for something to use primarily for hunting I'd check out the 270 AR or the 7mm Valkyrie.

To be honest, I did a quick search a couple weeks ago and I couldn't find anything on a 270 AR, must not have searched hard. My primary purpose would be hunting, but also, my brother and I thought about building one for my dad. He has never hunted and wants to go boar and deer hunting on his cousins land in Texas. He is 70 years old, so recoil is a concern.
