I’ve had similar experiences with the .270 as the author. The only two deer I’ve ever lost have been with the .270. I’ve had two long tracks with it as well. I can’t tell you why. There is no logical reason why that has happened and every deer I’ve ever shot with a 30-06 more or less dropped on the spot. I can’t tell you why some of the most dramatic kills I’ve ever had were with a 7x57/7mm-08 and the .270 has been less than satisfactory.
All I can say is that my experience has been like his.
