Nathan is your huckleberry for the work, but get the check book ready.

George--go for it. I have a 35Rem set up like that for specific close range work in the swamps.

A 270 deer. Most likely died from embarrassment being shot with a pump and a 270. ![[Linked Image]](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t20/JDK_2007/DSCN2049_zpsklafzgta.jpg) Or maybe had a heart attack. There is NO blood. grin Jerry

I love my "little" .35rem carbine...... I just have this sneaking suspicion that my kid is going to "liberate" it someday.

A-five
Depends on what I'm chasing. For deer, 200gr Hornady SP or 225 NP. For bear, 225 NP. Both with stiff loads of IMR4064.
However, I've used the Federal factory 225 TBBC and found it to be both very accurate and deadly for bear.

I've got a nephew that uses a Rem pump in .270 and he is deadly with it. I wouldn't want to be a deer. elk or pronghorn around him when the season is open and he has a tag in his pocket.
Be careful what you ask for because you just may get it someday.

A5--good choice. Can't imagine it wouldn't work well for bear, deer, or anything else for that matter. My experience with 225AB's and AB's in other calibers has made me a believer!
If I were starting all over again, they would be a first choice with R-15.

Try Imr 4320 or Varget if you get bored
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I shot against a kid (20 years old) like that. He was damn good with that pump gun. Good offhand shot. Nailed an egg in an offhand shoot and damn near walked away with all the money... I did say damn near....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My father in law passed away about 12 years ago and left us a 7600 .243 it is more accurate than my bolt guns.
I don't use it on deer though. It seems kind of like a girls rifle. Even my wife shot a .308.
Would the factory rebarrel it to something more manly like .338 Federal? Give that 243 a try with a good 100 grain cup and core bullet, Nosler partition or even a barnes ttsx. I am confident you will not miss the recoil and kill deer just as dead. On occasion your deer may travel another 10 paces. Suspect your father in law may roll over in his grave to hear of re-barreling a perfectly good very accurate rifle like this. If it aint broke don't fix it would be my line of thought. 243, 257 Bob or a more recent cal that still lacks the credit it deserves would be a Grendel

I suppose you are right. I loaded some 85 grain Nosler Solid Base years ago so he could porcupine hunt.
I told him those light bullets were not for deer. He ignored me and shot a deer anyway.
I have a friend who shoots a .270 Wssm and he says the deer don't drop instantly so he is shopping for a bigger rifle.
People are funny.
I love my 35 Whelen. Never a problem finding a deer after getting shot with that.
