RE: .270 WIN Long Range?
like eldeguello, I've taken whitetails, antelope and mulies with my old Rem 700 .270. Ranges were from literally point blank to over 400 yds. Using 130 gr Nosler ballistic tips over 55 gr of IMR4350, this rifle/load combo is extremely accurate in my rifle. Two years ago I dropped a nice 4x4 mulie at a ranged 437 yds. Even at this range the bullet exited the opposite side of the chest and by the looks of the exit hole, performed as it should have.
Using this same load in the hunter class sillouette shoots, I had little trouble knocking down the rams at 500 meters. But as much as I like the .270, for target shooting there are better cartridges out there to do that job. Ballistically, its hard to beat a 168 or 180 .308bullet. That's probably why you see so many 30 caliber rifles in long range competition.
