have had those encounters, not to that extent, but your phone may be set up to record conversations,,,,just sayin.....
Yeah he was saying there are still some folks who make the super duper barrels and the super duper rounds. I think he is shooting a straight custom gun in his super duper chamber. Either way i would like to shoot itI do think the “Super Duper” would be a great wildcat name! I bet a 6.5 SD would sell like hot cakes right now.
^ look at that it even abbreviates nicely!
(In case you are wondering how effective the old .300 Win Mag is, the Marines have just made the switch from .308 to .300 Win Mag for their sniper rifle shooters to use.)
Sorry to get you excited about unicorn farts, I was just trying to put some pieces together. I guess that kind of sums of this 270 saum rabbit hole. Unicorn farts, honestly he described the best shooting cartridge for what i want. Just have to find me that unicorn now

Appreciate the first hand experience. I love to shoot and know more than your average guys but I am no expert.
My 308 has served me great, 308 savage hog hunter with varmit barrel but I would like a lighter flatter shooting rifle for the mountains.
Ideally I would like a relatively lightweight rifle that shoots a high bc bullet fast enough to consistently expand a non lead bullet at 400 yards.
Everything was pointing me towards the 300 win mag until I ran into that guy and he was telling me that longer cartridges will never burn as consistent as smaller fatter cartridges. Hence the inherent accuracy of a 308 over 30 06 argument.
I want the energy but damn I want to be as accurate as possible Nothing feels better than hitting exactly where you are aiming
*all while being capable of proper bullets performance at intermediate distances 300-450 yards or so while not blowing animals apart at 100. I know I'm asking pretty much for the one rifle for all scenarios.
Thank you guys for all the responses, I've honestly learned a whole lot from this.
The reason for wanted the magnum at distances 400-500 is because I want to have the speed to expand non lead rounds if that's the path I decide to go down.
Right now I wouldn't hesitate to use my 308 to shoot out to 400 with 150grn core .lokts for deer or smaller but I would not want to shoot much past 200 with non lead
Non lead is not the end all for me but in would like to be able to use non lead just as efficiently if I want to.
I'm sure the bullet mfrs are studied on they're metals but coming from the HVAC world I know just how soft copper can be vs hard plumbing copper no not as soft as lead bit I'm sure it could he tweaked . I find it wild these bullets need so much speed to expand consistently. I think with the right r&d non lead or mono metal bullets have a lot of potential
