[QUOTE="Guest, post: 63179"] 270 .. in my opinion is too light... the buffalo scenerio is good.. but you had optimum conditions.. time... not out of breath....etc....I wonder the results if you would have hit that shoulder blade... I do agree bow hunting helps you "think" through a shot.. not all hunting situations are like that.... if you are a very adept marksman light calibers are fine.. but there are numerous situations when a little more power helps... studies have proven that to effecivly kill and animal you need 8" X 1/2" dia wound channel.... this is typically enough to kill the animal... I suspect it is subject to a shot in the vitals... as always shot placement is key... and you can "over power" and much as "under power" I keep recalling the 7mm Rem mag. the Rem Core lokt bullet/partion type... that zipped right though a mulie... high speed bullets are deflected easy.... reflecting back on the antelope hunt this fall... my buddy shoots at an antelope at 600 yards... he is shooting a 300RUM with handloads I made for him... the bullet is a 200 gr accubond... and they are screaming .... I set up a load for 1K plus shots... he hit the antelope in the chest... bullets hits a rib.. and does a hard right turn.... and literally gutted the antelope... obviously personal preference play as part.. heavy recoiling calibers can be tammed... I am very recoil sensitive.. but I love to shoot the 300WM but it is breaked and I shoot it well... [/QUOTE]
