[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2992178, member: 124909"] I've killed more deer with a 270 win. than with all other calibers combined. Ist with a model 6 Remington pump and then with a M70 Sporter with 24" barrel And a Ruger 270 M77. It is hands down the favorites in my area with the 30-06 being the next most popular in line. You'll see a few 243s and 7mm REM mags scattered about as well but I never cared for the 243. I had a few friends (3 brothers actually) and a few more acquaintances that shot 243 and it was always a toss up on whether or not we would find what they shot or not. One year they all got 270s for Christmas and the after shot drama ceased. Bullets are better today thank goodness but it was never a caliber I could warm up to. Since I have started building by own these days in both AR and bolt action I'll use 308, 6.5 Grendel, and 6.5-06. I probably kill more than anything else with the Grendel these days as I don't hunt that much in the traditional sense. I built the 6.5-06 to give me something to shoot and hunt long range that didn't have a ton of recoil . It has not disappointed. But I will also say that with the coming of longer, high BC bullets in .277. The thought of building a 270 or 270 AI have certainly run through my mind. [/QUOTE]
