Also, if hunting heavy dangerous game such as buffalo a .45 caliber using a 500 grain projectile at 2200-2300 fps is ideal, but certainly not flat shooting.


I never said the 270 was best for every situation. You bring in exceptions. I have other, heavier cal/cartridges for diff
applications.

Mr. Phil (458 Win here) professional guide and hunter in Ak says the 30-06 is entirely adequate for Brown Bear in Ak.
He didn't mention any of the rounds of our "dissenters" here.

These guys are not interested in the 270 discussion and could be called "haters"

They don't WANT to talk 270 and are trying to distract and ruin a thread they are not interested in.

However 10 ga gives an answer to one of your questions. I agree with him.
