yea there are some shooting lanes open when i hunt in the hardwoods, but sometimes they come in through the hardwoods and i can't get a shot at them. i would say most of my shots are about 100-150 yards out...maybe around 200 at the very most. would a .30-06 give me a good bit more distance/power than the .270?
My initial thought was if conditions exist that prevent you from ethical shots with the .270. then no other caliber is going to improve that. Maybe consider a nice big handgun with scope?
