Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Why would anyone use a .270 for deer with all those .223's out there?

Just wondering... SeaRun? Dober? Any ideas?

Stirring the pot a little?

It's all he has. Ignorant folks attack what they don't understand and can't do. Amazing how quick fools embrace their shortcomings. If he can't do it than apparently nobody can. Got $20 says he has velcro sneakers also........

Would anyone use a 270 shooting 150gr Barnes TSX's on elk? But half the bullet weight and .054" less bullet diameter won't work for a critter 5 to 8 times smaller.

The initials are aprapos...

You know...I have been off the campfire for a while but you wouldn't have an alter-ego between flippant and glib would you??

Jeffrey are you making faces at the other kids again.

LOL...

Ok now that's funny

Spot

You think they ain't....

sorry jeff but thats funny

It is funny! :-)

Who's attacking? I'm asking an honest question... if .223 is so great, why use anything else? You get a VERY compact rifle, low recoil, less noise, less expense... man, it's just PERFECT!

Or... isn't it?

I ask this because several people I noticed standing up for .223 on deer obviously DO primarily use something else.

Now... where are those dang velcro sneakers anyway... :-)

Cuzz I can.

It also keeps me from guessing.

That's certainly a pretty good reason... gotta love choices...

-jeff

But other than just "cuzz I can" is there any rational reason for a healthy (not injured) man to choose a .223 over a bigger caliber, for deer hunting? Can we focus here, please? :-)

-jeff

Is there a reason for a man to use a 270 on deer over a 223?

I've used both and one kills just as well as the other. Have you?

Not to mention the countless rounds I shoot in a 223AI cuzz it's cheap, no recoil, and it's fun. It is also nice watching everything in the scope as it happens when shooting a critter, not something you can do with a 300 Roy.

If you get an answer,it'll be shallow...

OK I will stir this pot....does the 22-250 kill with hydrostatic shock? Do you get more hydrostatic shock with the 130 grain 270 at 3000 FPS or the 22-250 with a 60 grain bullet at 3500?

.223 is a lot of fun, I shoot a lot myself too.

How much speed do you pick up with the AI chamber?

To your first question- yes!

-jeff

Cain't say I understand it but cain't say I'm suprised...
You've never used a .223 on deer but dismiss it as a "stunt"...
Then you say ".223" users are "touchy" b/c we call you on your Field and Stream Reading "experience"...

Then you purposely put this trolling thread up here?

Let me explain one thing, I am not defending the .223. I'm defending something that has proven itself over and over again from someone who has never used said item yet feels compelled to have the "experience" needed to make a call. This "something" could be a .223, a knife, a backpack, a bullet.

I'd quit now as this whole situation makes you look very bad my friend, FYI...

You got my southern country boy attitude all riled up tonight....grin...

Joe the guy next door shoots them with a 220 swift, he says I like to throw big rocks while he likes to electrify and shock them with his 220 Swift. We both get deer so I don't know if the big rock theory or the hydrostatic shock theory is correct. (more pot stirring) I have found that every deer I shoot dies, he lost one this year he shot but did not tell me where he thought he hit it so I guess no conclusions.

This one time at band camp.......
