Shooting is a skill, shouldnt shooting with a lesser firearm be commended?

Sure... But are you just learning to compensate for a less accurate rifle? LOL

Like my new deer rifle... Savage 110 in .270 Win. The "book" says use a 130 grain bullet. I am using 150. Why? I want to ensure a clean and instant kill. Bigger bullet increases the chances of that happening. BUT, that means I need to get a better feel for bullet drop over standard ranges. It is going to drop more. After a few hours on the range (and a sore shoulder) I feel I am ready. Sure, I could buy a better scope (I have a flat 3x9) but I also work for living and pay cash ONLY. LOL

This is not to say the savage is not accurate.... I am just using ammo that is not the "book" type.

Errrr, what was my point? LOL Oh yeah, to pick on Dan.

AK's drool.
