Mule Deer....I am utterly enjoying the responses to my question from you and others. I am now age seventy one and have hunted from the Yukon to Tennessee to Southern Africa with a.270 Win. I have had wonderful experiences with my custom Mark X 98 Mauser in .270 Win. with a 26 inch barrel. After all of these years I have become tired of opinions and no experience of a .270 being used on big brown bears. I am attempting to contact Mr. Shumaker as you have suggested. OH! By the way, I'll use my 9.3 x 62 on big dangerous stuff if I go back to Africa. My cape buffalo was killed with one shot with a 286gr X Bullet. Next time I will use your load of 66 grains Big Game behind the X Bullet.
