I got a .270wsm Winchester model 70 last year kind of late, but still had the chance to take a couple of bucks with it. I was useing Hornady 130gr. interlocks and took a nice 8 point at 140 yds as he was crossing a logging rd. One shot on the edge of his shoulder and he droped like a rock. The other was a 5 point at 30yds. droped like a rock. This caliber hits them hard. I really like it so far and think it will be here to stay.
