I used a 270 for over 30 years with excellent results. The only difference was that I used 150 gr bullets. They will hit at the same point of impact at almost any range and will hit harder when they get there. It's a natural.
Yep, +1.
I moved here to Idaho from Alaska, I lived and died with my .300 win mag. up in the 'great land' with many dead sheep, moose and bou. But it was heavy and kicked like a mule.
In 2011 I bought a .270 KS and went out and killed two mountain goats, two whitetails and an elk in just that year.
All with 150 grainers.
Frankly the other Idaho goat tag holder used my rifle to kill his Idaho billy as well.
Three mountain goats in one year with that rifle, and those buggers can be tough to kill.
I became a .270/150grn. believer in short order, most kills were DRT.
Helluva caliber; O'Conner had it right.
