Agree to disagree on the ethics threads?

Is it ethical to use the dreaded Sharp Stick?

Yes it is.

Other than that .270 is the better choice IMHO

What about the .391 WSSM Skyripper? Short powder column, diameter matched to the earths rotational forces and blessed by the Dali Lama. I read about it in gun mag and can you believe it? It GOT outstanding reviews from a gun writer who was paid $500 and sent on a free Greater Siberian Niwot hunt with the express instructions that he was to give this new miracle caliber an outstanding review no matter what!

The .391 WSSM skyripper in orange jello testing using pineapple chunk wetpack. Showed only 5X caliber expansion and a mere 9 feet of penetration. It would be alright for light skinned game. It doesn't display effective ballistics to be used as a SD round. Glock has declined chambering it in the next model 64 for this reason. According to Wikipedia

So the .270 win is still the better round sorry.

OK but what about the .391 Skyripper WSSM Aptly Improved version? It got 9'& 1/4" penetration making it FAR superior to the non improved version. AND it has 43 times the powder capacity of a .270 with less recoil!

Also if you reload you can get the cost of each shot down to only $54.39. I can't see how you could possibly argue that a .270 was better after all it's old and obsolete.

Once you add in the auto range finding, laser guided, trajectory correcting 18X63x88 scope by Trashco you can shoot Niowts at over 3674 yards. I know a guy who did it, off hand.

.270's are mostly worthless now.

I am going to order the Victorinox 24 function upper in .391 aptly improved for my shrubmeister. Ethics won't even come into question with such a round.

Thanks for the heads up.

Seems to me that this ethics thing has been pretty much been beaten to death, these last several months. Poor old horse has more scar tissue than hair...
