.270 or .25-06?
I feel the need for a new rifle. This will be for deer and antelope nothing bigger, my 7mm mag and .350 mag handle the heavyweights nicely. Would you go with a .25-06 or a .270? Thinking 100gr bullets for antelope and 115 for deer. The .270 would likely use 130 for both. I am quite confident in my shooting out to 400 yds but thats pretty well my comfort zone limit. One advantage that .25 would give is that its legal for varmint hunting near home while the .270 is not ( don't ask its a stupid law but can't change that). Do you think there is a real advantage with the .270 vs .25-06 on mule deer size game when loading both with premiums?
