Funny thing, many here state that there's not much difference in the field between the .270 and the .30-06, which I tend to believe. Heck, on mule deer I haven't seen much difference (none?) between the little 6mm Rem and the .30-06... Shoot 'em and they fall over... Yet here we are, debating between to fine, well established cartridges.
That has pretty much been my experience on Whitetail with the range of cartridges running from the .243 to the 45/70.
Disrupt the lungs/heart, you get a short dash and a pile-up.
Disrupt the CNS, and you go straight to pile-up.
Bullet construction and placement have seemed to matter more than headstamp.
