... I've "hunted" with the .270 many times but it seemed the game heard I was out there with a .270 and fled for its life! ha Out to 500yds at targets,
It's just the opposite for me.
Beginning in the 90s...after a few years and getting NEW rifles it is UNcanny how many times I killed a deer with
a new rifle -to me- on the FIRST hunt. Whether a brand new rifle or a PRE owned rifle, the first time I hunted it I
killed deer with it.
On another note, my son can verify, My Rem M Six 270 was named by ME as "Meat In The Pot" after several years.
