shinebone, it's a helluva round, i pulled mine out of the safe last week, blew the dust outta the twilight aperture on the Lyman receiver peep and took two cold bore shots at 200 and 300 yard steel just holding a bit high on the 300 yard plate, had a decent West wind firing dew North, held a bit for that, i took pics and sent to BSA and beretzs, that's two dead deer, man that old pre-64 270 is a fun rifle, 150gr partitions at 2900 fps will get a lot done.
There ain’t nothing I wouldn’t tackle with that combo myself Gunner. It’s just a good one that’ll work fine on way bigger stuff than folks give it credit for.
My old Raider buddy is 96-97 this year. After WWII he was assigned to the Alaska territory as a Fish Biologist. I asked what he carried for bear and moose.
Model 70 - 270 Win. Whatever ammo he could get took moose, bear, caribou, for 30 years he ran around with that rifle and he never mentioned a problem.
