[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1904427, member: 66917"] The issue with .270 bullets is the lack of high BC bullet choices. There's nothing wrong with a 270 WSM, I owned one and killed plenty of deer elk and antelope with it, just not at long range. Most bullets will function great on game down to 1800-1700 fps. So look at how far that gets you range wise with common bullets for the cartridge you are looking at. This will give you a rule of thumb to compare with. The IMR website has a lot of cartridges in their reloading data site. You could use this info for max velocity numbers when looking at where a given bullet drops below 1800-1700fps. [/QUOTE]
