My 270 has been retired for a number of years now, as I've started using other cartridges. I don't hunt anything larger than whitetails, and chamberings like the 6.5 Creedmoor, the 243, and the 6.5 Grendel will do just fine. However......if I were selected to go on the "hunt of a lifetime" or told that I had to go kill a deer or else, with the "or else" covering whatever comes to the imagination, I'd have more faith in a 270 with a 130 grain Sierra soft point, loaded up with 60 grains of H-4831 than anything else I have ever used on deer for the past 60 years.
