[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2330761, member: 101791"] In my life time. I have seen somewhere around 150 deer taken with 270's. They used 130 gr Sierra SPBT. Other than my 25/06 with 120 Gr Noslers (No longer being made). I seen those 270's take deer from one end to other. Those rifles were in a standard twist rate at that time. Those hand loads were at about 3000 to 3100 fps. Those shots were from 30 yds, to 300 yds. I will state that I haven't been around the 270 in a great many years, so I don't know how the bullet is construction presently. I do know if I was going to use a 270 that would be the load I would use. The most importance is shot placement. Knowing to where to place that bullet to hit the Lungs, Heart from almost any angle. Plus staying away from the guts. Now if you are going to shot long shots, then a different bullet and twist rate is need or I feel that should be. [/QUOTE]
