I've done some testing with both and the smaller cartridge ran at speed always did noticably better for me. All of my comparison was between the 270 and 223 on deer and I was taking behind the shoulder lung shots for what that's worth. Several times the 270 required a second shot and the 223 has always been one and done.


Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
