RE: Is this true?
The 30-06 will generate more energy because it shoots heavier bullets. The .270 shoots lighter bullets at a flatter trajectory. Both guns will knock a deer down in it's tracks with the right bullet. Core loc, Nosler, etc...
If you compare the energy factors of the .270 with 150 grain bullets against a 30-06 with 150 grain bullets there isn'tthatmuch of difference!
I carry a 30-06 because I hunt from the ground a lot, where there's more brush and obstacles and such! The heavier bullet will not deflect as easily!! Not that a twig is gonna stop a .270 either!! If I were a stand hunter or an open range hunter, Iwould carry my.270!
