For the .270 guys, do you feel it is merely adequate, or absolutely suitable (i.e. performance on game is no step down from an -06 in this scenario)? Based on actual experience?
Some of us, and I probably include myself at times, tend to take a minimalist approach. I'm looking for those not-minimal, but not overkill either options. As I have zero experience with the .270 I am making no judgement on it one way or the other.
I'll also add, shots there are typically less than 200, doubtfully ever 300. (... gets expensive over there if you take bad shots).
in 1969 and 70, my uncle hunted Mozambique and Angola, taking all manner of Plains Game (including sable) and a lion! with his 270 and old style Winchester Silvertips.
