6.5x55. Elegantly understated and just plain kills. No roar, no recoil, inherent accuracy out the wazoo.

I don't worry about the cartridge so much as I worry about the chosen deer to show predictably at 200 yards.....
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

if recoil is an issue at all, the 243 would get my vote, shooting any decent 95/100gr bullet.

Nope...I think Im about the fourth... 6mm/243/250 Sav beat me to it... But hey, who cares??? Just so long as the .270 mud puddle is stirred... Ingwe

Never shot a deer with one, but a 6PPC or 6 BR looks 200 yard capable; screw it, a 6-250!
I know one dude who pegged one through the melon at 400 paces with his faster twisted BR.....

Youre right just saw the 6mm and 250 savage votes, I was too busy dinging the 25-06. Im still happy if a .270 imitater wins:)

Actually the 25-06 and the .270 are both good choices.... But you guys already knew that.... Ingwe

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

You guys... we understand that everyone cant have good sense, if not there wouldnt be any .270s to be had. Thanks for liking the other stuff so the good stuff stays available.
