Shots out to 150 yards. Not handoading
My "go-to" deer rifle is a 270W. I had the same decision some time ago that you do now. I bought him a 20" carry-around all-weather 308. Latter when he could afford his own rifles, he bought a nice wood stocked 270W. Now, He hunts with both depending on his hunt conditions.
