the shop a few years back and was talking about Jack. He said Jack never used the 270. He said he and Winchester had a deal. Winchester paid for all his hunts and a little cash on the side and he promoted the 270 as the finest rifle and cartridge around. Not a bad deal any way you look at it. Jack mostly used the 9.3 X 62 while his wife used the 7X57. Jack was a college professor down in Phoenix.
