Guys,

I didn't intend for this to be a 270 bashing thread. I like the 270, I think its a great cartridge. Those that know how to shoot it are deadly. That was not my point at all. My point was using the "term Flat shooter" is misleading is all. So just don't use that as a deciding attribute. Felt recoil is a acceptable reason. Versatility is another. And of course the most honest: "I bought it as a deer rifle, and I really don't see the need to buy another rifle". I just wanted to show that bullet drop or lack there of is not a proper argument.

I was more surprised by the minimal difference going to one of the "hot" new ultra mags made. That was more of my intent than to rehash the 270 debate. Look again at the 300 ultra compared to all the rest it just isn't much "flatter". Does it have more energy? yes. Will it make a cleaner kill? Maybe. But, does it have a significantly flatter trajectory? NO not in my humble opinion.
