RE: .308 or .270?
"....if you're even thinking of getting a 308 then you might as well get the 30-06 in my opinion."
Deer size critters and underand for target shooting, the .308 is a wonderful cartridge.

From a prior note:
ORIGINAL: EKM
After six pages of debate/discussionregarding 270 vs. 308 andthe whole works may be tossed aside for a 30-30?
What was the point in the first place?
Something isn't right.
I don't see what is not right. The original poster came here looking for information, which he received, and based on that information has decided to look at other options that may or may not suit his needs just as well. To my way of thinking, this is what it is all about, sharing info and experiences with fellow hunters and shooters.
Kinda like going to a pet shop to buy a puppy, just gotta choose between a golden retriever and a golden lab.... then end up going home with a pet turtle instead.

Few deer hunters shoot long distances, unless, of course, being out West, but there's a reason that snipers use the .308 and not the .270, don't know what it is, but I trust their judgement.

The 270 because the balistic coefficient is better

But all those "tactical" bolt-actions are in .308, and consumers have a choice.
I wonder if Wikipedia knows, I doubt it.

Maybe one of our military trained guys can chime in here... kdvollmer??? Do military "snipers" have a choice now as to what rifle/scope/cartridge combo they use? Have they always had a choice?
