RE: Question with the .270
Yea i was going to say...lose sight of a deer really isnt an option with the 270. 5 of the 6 i have shot havent gone too far after that 130gr hornady goes through em.
I can shoot a box of 270 rounds and think nothing of it...i just love pulling the trigger you really get used to the recoil...And once you get to that point your aim becomes absolutly deadly out to 250yrds.
243 is a real sweet shooter and very capable deer caliber....mine groups under an inch at 100 but i just lend that gun out on occasion at deer camp and use it around the farms I hunt.
For a deer round...I like the 270 or 7mm08....for bigger game...300win mag or 7mm Rem Mag (one of these is next for me)
The 243 shoots everything else and has very little recoil...ground hogs, coons, and hopefully a coyote soon.
