I totally love the 270 bee. I have had a pile of them,and whenever I sell or trade one in, another 270 bee is coming home with me. Moose, elk or whatever doesn't stay on its feet when properly applied. I've never had to whack something twice with it. It is a total howl shooting gophers with it...
Nice shooting on the yote. They are tough customers for sure. I took one out at 550 yards with a 130 grain hollowpoint Speer out of the 300 Win mag.The bullet hit the ribs on the right side, traveled the length of him,blew off the hind leg on the left side, and he took off. Found him a couple...
