565 yard deer with a .270 and the lowly 130 grain Sierra GK. He didn't laugh at me, nor laugh my bullet off. ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/taylorce1/Deer%202006/P8280246.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/taylorce1/Deer%202006/deer02.jpg) There are cartridges that probably do it easier at that range. However, if you are going to include the 7-08 or .280 in the mix the .270 is certainly as capable.

Creed factory 140s hit as hard at 400 as any .270 factory load, and then pulls away..... for 25% less money.... and 25% less recoil. For all intents, it IS a .270..... just modern....
.270 is a great hunting round..... but a factory load LR proposition it ain't....
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

.270 is a great hunting round..... but a factory load LR proposition it ain't.... Creed is a neat round and it does have advantages for sure. Though for a guy dependent mainly on factory ammunition it won't be 25% cheaper than the .270 Win, but I'll give you the recoil. At 600 yards there is no significant difference between the two other than cheaper ammunition for the .270 Win.
