What are your thoughts on this?? are they worth getting for a deer rifle???
This guy in town is trying to tell me they are excellent deer rifles and they a 270 is too small to take deer. I want some advice so I can refute his argument.
The .303 British is a good deer round! It is also good for moose, elk, etc. Actually, any game that you can kill with a .30/40 Krag, .308 Winchester, or .30/'06 can be killed just as effectively with a .303.
However, anyone who tells you that a .270 Win. is "too small for deer" is so grossly ignorant and uninfomed as to be not worth listening to! The .270 Win. is excellent, with the right bullet, for all North American game except the very largest of coastal Alaskan brown bears! Despite the good qualities of the .303 British (as a
CARTRIDGE) the .270 is a lot better!!
