Default RE: 270 WIN ADEQUATE FOR BIG GAME?

ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM

Not sure what you want to hunt but the 270 is just fine for antelope, deer , caribou, sheep, goats and black bear cartridge. Marginal but doable with the proper premium bullet and shoot ing distance/angles limitations for elk and moose. Don't even think about for large bears or dangerous game!

Skeeter, I did a little research on Norma and they said that the 6.5 .156 SP ALASKA
is what is most commonly used in Sweden and most european countries for Moose.
I have two boxes of them and can't wait to use them.

I just can't understand why many people have the .270 as being marginal?
