Thanks John. I came back home from the Viet Nam war time mess, spent some time with the old folks, and went to the Yukon with a fellow soldier who had a dad there and we went hunting. Moose, reindeer, grizzly. All killed with a
270 130gr Nosler partition. The reindeer took two shots as I was so cold I couldn't hold steady was my excuse. The grizzly fell flatt and was hard hit then got up and ran forty yards and just rolled. I knew that people were killing big, mean animals with the .270. Where were the stories? This Thanksgivimg was great with all the stories here that has spoiled a lot of urban legends about the so called inadequacy of the .270. Only experienced hunters can ever really know the truth. The 150gr Nosler partition is the equal of a 7mm 160gr and the moose you saw killed didn't have a chance against that bullet. My only moose went down a whole lot slower.
