well i know the 270 is to small for squirrels!! everytime i shoot at one it just disappears!!!! man i think i am hitting them just not getting the penatration[:'(]

anything 243 and up is a good deer round. however a lot of smaller deer rounds are great all around guns for coyotes and deer

last year a 12 or 13 year old kid killed a 650 or 700 pound bear with a single shot from a 243 so i wouldn't consider the 243 a VARMIT cal.


did you ever hear of Jack O' Conner and the 270??? read up on him buddy!! or Roy Weatherby and the 257 wby.


ps: i am buying a 510 nitro for the upcoming deer season and a 340 wby. mag for the late squirrel.......that damn 270 just dosen't cut it!!!
