[QUOTE="Todd Gansel, post: 2017969, member: 107021"] I don't understand why you need that heavy of a bullet for deer or even elk. If memory serves me correctly the 270 was designed around the 140gr bullet going at about 3000fps. This was a very flat shooting gun and covered a niche area for bullet weights. I understand long range shooting as well. But why load such a heavy bullet for a smaller animal. If you shoot a 150gr bullet you may as well just use a 30-06 at least the 30 cal you'll have an overwhelming assortment of bullets to choose from. However, in the future I totally expect some cool bullet developments from all the manufacturer's since the military is pushing for a .277 caliber gun. But really the 270 Win will do everything very well with a 130 to 140gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
