It is all about the individual bullet, weight, shape and velocity. Daughter shoots a 130g TTSX @ 3045fps in her .308 Win, and a 150g ABLR @ 2910fps in her .270. She has used the .308/130g TTSX for elk but will use the ..270/150g ABLR this year.

Comparing like-weight bullets at 7000 feet, say 130g TTSX, a .270 can deliver 1500fpe to about 100 yards further than a .308 do.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
