The 270 is flat out the killingest cartridge that any rifle has ever been chambered for. How do I know this? Well I bought one last summer and it has accounted for 2 blacktail bucks and 2 coyotes with 5 rounds (i missed the first shot on 1 of the coyotes). 75% of the animals were DRT (1 buck ran about 40 yards) so based on this extensive empirical data, the 270 has no equal.
I have had deer and coyotes shot with an -06 and 375H&H as well as several other calibers take more than 1 shot (don't get me started on cape buffalo) so the evidence proves that nothing kills like a 270. grin
I've made up my mind so don't try to confuse me with facts.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
