When I first started reading Larry's post, I thought he was a real jerk. After a few conversations with him, I wanted to meet him face to face and explain things to him in a redneck southern way. Yes, I wanted to cause bodily harm. Now I just flat feel sorry for him. He thinks his knowledge of firearms makes him superior to other people. When in all reality he could not hold a candle to any man on this site. He has servere mental problems. I just wish the best for the dude. Good luck to you Larry. I hope you can overcome the problems you live and struggle with everyday of your life.....or you could just go lay in the backyard with the rest of the turds.

Carry two rifles at the same time? I'd carry two different rounds of '06 if I really thought that was necessary. NOT! My one 165 gr. round will do fine at any yardage as long as I have been practicing. May not be as flat shooting as a lesser grain .270, but......it's gonna' get there and have better knock down power where needed!
i agree,a man of common sense

I beleive it deppends more on shot placement. Ive dropped 6 deer with a .243 Win. shooting a 100 gr. core lokt or Winchester power point hit in the heart/lung area,but ive also seen deer run a couple hundred yards after being shot with a .300 Win Mag shootin a 180 gr power point that was hita little far back. So there u have it.

I've killed deer and hogs with both... as well as .243, .308, and .30-30....
I would never say the .270 is not capable... however i will say this....
a few years ago, i shot a spike buck in the head with a .270... it at the base of the ear... watched the round hit, and the head go splat... after spending the next 6 hours looking for it, could not find it... what I did find, however, was the little yearling that was standing 15 ft to the left(90 degrees to the bullets path) of the deer i shot... the bullet had gut shot that yearling... i just happened to stumble across it doing a gradual spiral out from the place the spike was standing... about 100 yds... only thing i found of the spike was bone, a toothe and what i thought was brain matter where it fell(yes, i watched it fall)
not the .270's fault... using the same ammo earlier that year, i dropped a 300 lb hog in its tracks, on the run, at 250 yds, with a shot right behind the shoulder....
but i've headshot probably a dozen deer from .30-30s, .308s, .30-06, and even a .243... that was definitely a first...
that .270 belongs to my dad now... great gun...
get one gun, shoot it ALOT at all possible different ranges... dont worry about how flat it shoots or how hard it hits... either will kill a deer equally dead
