What caliber would you chose trust to drop a deer down from 100-500 yards..... and why???? My cousin has a .270 and says with a 150 grain bullet 10 out of his 12 deer have dropped on the spot, and the other two havent went more that 15 yards... his longest shot with it was 534 yards he said... is he fibbing? what ya'all think???Thanks
He may be telling the truth. after all, he's only reporting on his own personal experience.
However, there is NO firearm, short of a 57mm or larger recoilless rifle,that can be fired from the shoulder that can guarantee to positively drop every animal it hits on the spot where it was standing! None!!
