I've had a 270 Winchester Model 70 featherweight for over 25 years and have shot a pile of whitetail deer, hogs and coyotes that I couldn't see over. I've also taken 2 mule deer and 2 small bull moose with it. I also have a 7 MM mag but it isn't very reliable and doesn't shoot especially well. I have a 338 that I've taken lots of caribou with but my favorite rifle is my 270. I have a good 150 grain Hornady handload for it. What do you feel is the max range I can use this load?
I've killed 25+ elk with a 270. Frontwards, backwards, sideways, longerange, and up close and personal.
I would recommend a stouter bullet than the Hornady--although I've killed a fair number with conventional bullets, a Partition, TSX or other premium bullets makes a difference in a cartridge like the 270........
