[QUOTE="FlyGuy11, post: 2224636, member: 108987"] If your going for deer out to 500 yards the 270 win will do that no problem. I am a Berger bullets and 280 AI fan so I generally select a rifle barrel based on the bullet I intend to use. I have dropped a cow elk at 422 yards with a 280 AI loaded for that specific application. Honestly your splitting hairs with all of the calibers discussed. I would stick with the 270 win to save on new reloading gear and look at powders and primers you have on hand. I have not shot a competition since 2019 due to lack of primers and powder so that would drive my decision process. Berger has free load data for a 270 win 140gr. Classic Hunter; I'm sure that would drop just about any deer from 0 to 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
