[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1717751, member: 78056"] Since we're all giving our opinions, I'll give a positive vote on the .270. I love mine and everyone that's shot is able to hit what they're aiming at. It's the only rifle I have with a name - Excalibre, since everyone can kill with it. The longest shot I've ever taken was with this rifle, 750 yards on a wounded prairie ghost (someone else wounded it, I just finished it off), 150gr Partition did a complete pass thru the lungs. I've also killed a wounded elk at 200 yds, again, a complete pass thru in the chest, getting ribs going & coming. However, I would never intentionally go elk hunting with a .270. Yes, it will kill them but you are both range limited and shot angle limited and I don't like limits like that. Same with the big bears, although it should be adequate for eastern black bears. Again, get close and be picky about the angle... Nosler 150 Partitions rule out of the .270! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
