RE: Mild Yet Adequate Deer Rifle
.270 is quite a bit louder than a .243 with a bit more recoil.
People here will tell you different but a deer wouldnt know the difference between a .243 or a 7 mag. I know I have used both. anything over a 7-08 is overkill for deer. .243, 6mm, 260, and 7mm-08 are perfect deer, mulieand antelope cartridges. The .243 being the quietest and most pleasant to shoot, and still will kill elk.
Aproperly placed shot from a .243 is 10 times better than a gut shot from a .300 mag. .Ive been using a .243 for about 25 yrs. I have used other calibers but thats my favorite cartridge. I can actually see deer drop in the scope, hardly any recoil at all. super flat shooting and tons of ammo available. 55 gr bullets that shoot at 4000 fps or up to a 100 gr for deer. It's absolutley the best varmint round and no one here will disagree with that, I just find it perfect for deer as well, loaded with good 100 gr bullets.
