[QUOTE="djm670, post: 1790729, member: 36341"] My guess is the ammo you were using in the .270 had different bullets than that used in the 6.5 CM. At 100 yards.. a 130 grain .270 has about about 2300 ft-lbs energy vs 1960 ft-lbs for the 129 grain 6.5 CM. Using Hornady's ammo spec's for comparison. I doubt a deer hit with either one with a proper bullet would know the difference. I use a .25-06 which has 1960 ft-lbs with 117 grain at 100 yards equal to 6.5 CM energy but with a smaller hole. It is my primary deer and elk rifle and is pretty much a one shot deal for both. Have never had any issues killing both. Now I typically don't shoot them at 500 and 600 yard either. Usually between 75 and 350 yds. 150 is probably typical. I have a .270 a .30-06 and .45-70 but I am most comfortable using the .25-06. Have killed deer and elk with a 6 mm Remington when the opportunity presented it'self when that was the only rifle in the jeep. [/QUOTE]
