Hey fellas, I'm not bashing the 270 Win. Just stated I haven't had any luck with the two I've had. I still shoot a 270 on occasion...270 grain Hornady 375 cal.
I don't shoot shoulder or CNS, I always shoot for lungs. I'm not a bad shot maybe not as good as everybody here, but I can normally hold my own. And I never expect the DRT when I pull a trigger. Pulled enough triggers on game and other things that I know it's a oddity. But when on average of 4 deer don't go down in 100 yards or less I find something that will. Normally any of the 30 cals seem to do this more times or not.
I've never lost an animal that I've shot with any rifle. I'll never tell anyone not to hunt with a 270 Win. But if asked I'll also never indorse one either.
