The .270 still doesnt impress me. My expierence has shown me the .243 will out penetrate the .270 90% of the time.Seen another deer killed this weekend with the .270, perfect broadside shot and didnt pass through, last weekend same thing but was shot with a .270 wsm. Dont care about gel tests or anythin else, it seems like the .270 rarely passes through deer, thats what I have seen.
I have shot deer and hogs out to 250 yds with my .243, it always blows right through anything in its way, neck bone or shoulder bone, spine or whatever.
.243 doesnt have any problems at any angles
