[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 603644, member: 2011"] After 40 years shooting a 279 Win and having a few 308 Wins [LIST] [*] a 270 Win and a 308 Win born with equal opportunity will shoot together. [*] 30 cal has a more extensive bullet selection [*] any 270 projectile will shoot flatter than any similar weight 308 Win projectile @ a given MV. [*] Both cartridges with proper bullet and velocity is effective on white tails at the distance you specify [/LIST] Which means that both cartridges with proper drop chart development will place the bullet [B][I]vertically[/I][/B] where you are capable of placing it. Deal breaker or Deal maker depending on you you look at it is: all 270 cal projectiles have a better bc than similar weight 30 cal projectiles. Thus the ol' 270 is the hands down choice . I'd recommend a 140 gr bullet but I've done the job on many mule deer w/130s. If any of this post is inaccurate it's because my earlier taken meds haven't worn off plus I just finished watching pres. debate......what a thriller. [/QUOTE]
