Ballistics: All you need to do is be able to hit a 8" paper plate @ any distance ie; the 8" vital zone of a deer. The 270 will shoot form top to bottom of the vital zone when you are shooting 3 1/4"-3 1/2" high of dead on @ 100yards. This is point blank shooting so you aim dead on and the
bullit will hit some where top to bottom of the 8" vital zone out to about 350 yds. This type of shooting will stop the guess work in the field. All you need to know is it over 350 yds. I have been shooting this method for over 40 years and it is tried and true. Check ballistic charts and you will see for your self. Jim
