People always bring up the avalability of more bullets when talking about 7mm or 30 cal cartridges over. A .270 can knock down anything that can legaly be hunted in this province with the proper 130 grain bullet, then you have the 140 and 150 incase you want a little more SD so I never understood the relevence of this argument. I havnt seen any difference on moose sized game between the 30.06 and the .270, they both work great but neither has much of an edge over the other. I was just wondering if a 7mm was enough of a step up to get that edge, which doesnt seem to be the case.
