I hunt with and love my 270. I shoot a Weatherby .270 Mag with Weatherby 130 grain partition rounds. With it sighted in at 300 yds it will hit 2.8 inches high at 100 yds, 3.5 inches high at 200 yds and at 400 yds it will hit -8.3 inches low. I think that is a pretty amazing round! IMOmy .270 is the bestrifle I have. All of the deer I have taken with the exception of one, droped in their tracks. And the one that didn't was an easy recovery with a blood trail Ray Charles could have followed.
