Yep, we all know how well armored them 150# corn fed TX bucks are.

Seriously dude, do you really think a 270 Webby actually kills a whitetail any faster than a 308 with BT's, Scenars, or Bergers?

I understand it shoots a bit flatter and will have a Max PBR a little further out, so if that is your goal, due to hunting Senderos, that makes sense, but "killing power"?


Like my deer DRT.


Then you should try a Berger Hunting VLD in 243 or larger, high shoulder shot.


Speed helps kill... so you say the fast 270 ain't it.... but dredge up a fast 243.... WTF.

DRT is always about shot placement to be 100%. Nothing more or less.

I shoot 308 a LOT with bergers... I've yet to see a DRT... FWIW... but then I shoot lungs and don't like wasting meat on shoulder/high shoulder shots...

I should clarify, I see a LOT of DRT with the 308 when I want to, but thats due to head shots.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
