So I don't what ballistics you are looking at or how you came to your conclusions. I also hunted with the .243 for several years and was also pleased with my results. But the .270 using 130 gr bullets is ballistically superior in every aspect to the .243.
i aint doggin ya er anything, just recently shopping fer a rifle fer my 5'10", 175lb 12 year old daughter..and after lookin through bal on alot of rifles, i still have no decision. i just remember thinkin how good a 270 would be, and looking at the bal, and being disappointed. so i was just concluding, if you were open to any rifle, and you were just lookin a bal.... and ya ran by 270, you would keep going. everything kills, i aint arguing that a 270 wont kill.
