There has never been a more perfect cartridge invented for deer hunting than the 270 Winchester. It's all anyone needs, as deer aren't that hard to kill. These days I use a 6.5 Creedmoor, and it's every bit as good as the 270, well, almost. The rest of my family uses the 243, and it's all anybody needs.

All Model 700's by the way.

I won a Howa 270 Win at a fire dept raffle a few years ago.

I kill all my deer with it.

Deer aren't hard to kill. Anything you shoot well does the job.

We have a lot of hunters coming here from Florida, Georgia, and Alabama that lease land to hunt on. The biggest majority show up with a magnum caliber rifle, then get all pizzed off when the adjoining local hunter kills the biggest buck with a 243 or 30-30.
