A little late posting, but this was from opening weekend... A 10 point taken with my 270 Wby and a 130 SST. Starting velocity was 3450. Distance was appx 130 yds. Lung shot and hit a rib on the way in and the way out. Deer hit the deck where he stood. Bullet stayed together pretty well, surprisingly, as it exited without causing too much damage. I've been toting my 257 more as of late, but decided to knock the dust off the ol' 270�Roy for opening weekend.�Glad I did. This hunt reminds me of why I like the Mark V and the 270 Wby so much. Besides being the most versatile cartridge in Weatherby's line-up, it's just such a joy to shoot. Also, love the look, feel and balance of the classic Mark V Deluxe stock. ![[Linked Image]](http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/mojo67_2006/MarkVand10point_zpsf9bcd74b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/mojo67_2006/10pointrear_zps57459f12.jpg)

Nice gun, deer, scope.
Mine has taken WTail, Muley, bear, elk, and moose.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

Fan where was this buck killed? Do you happen to have a frontal shot? powdr powdr, Killed him in Gonzales County, just outside of Luling. This is the only other pic I have of him. I was by myself when I shot him, so couldn't get real good photos. ![[Linked Image]](http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/mojo67_2006/image_zps09e0f66b.jpg)

AMRA, I'm running a VX3 3.5x10. I'm planning to send the scope to Leupold to have a CDS or MOA turret installed.
