    Waiting for licenses for a 308 and a 458 Lott, should slot in nicely amongst the .22, .223, 243, 300Win Mag, 357Mag x 2 and 9.3x62, now you have gone and given me ideas with that .270 of yours...

    ******************************************
    I kid you not, if the .303 was more available in good bolt action rifles other than that shitty rear locking Lee action, it would be reeeal hard to beat as a extreme all rounder rifle.
    That bullet really hits hard and works harder, from my very first second thud returning to my ears I have been impressed with this old 8 mm (for all intents,(7.92mm)) bullet.
