RE: Best long range deer caliber
ORIGINAL: zrexpilot Ya the .270 looks good on paper, but my expierence with them is they werent very impressive on grouping at a 100 yds, much less 300. never seen a .270 that was a shooter. my bud just bought and got rid of a rem LSS in .270, for the same reasonI just mentioned. Dont know why. I here a lot of good things about them, but havent seen it. |
RE: Best long range deer caliber
If you guys look at actual balistic charts you will see the .270 is junk COMPARED to other calibers. I personally use a .270 and I know it's a good gun. 30-06 is NOT good to 200 yards. Lots of drop and not much energy retention that far out.
.243 is flat and fast yes, but others havemuch better knockdown power. .300 WSM (winchester short mag) would be my choice although I believe the 7mm WSM is flatter and faster, just a smaller caliber bullet. Check out the WSM calibers. The performance is unbelievable. |

RE: Best long range deer caliber
The 270 shoots plenty flat and hits plenty hard to take deer out to and beyond the range that anyone should be shooting at game animals. People have been taking deer for many years and long before the 300 WSM was even an idea. Others are right. Learn something then speak.:D

RE: Best long range deer caliber
I'm stuck in a shot gun state - but - was weened on the 30-06 and never knew it was NOT good to 200yrds or By Golly By Gosh - I would of taken those Muleys with a shotgun:eek: I've used the 270. Never relalized it was junk compared to other calibers until now[&o].
These 2 calibers have taken billions of deer well out to 300yrds which is one helluva shot for most hunters. I hope you didin't post this in the Gun forum or you'd get eatin up alive. |
RE: Best long range deer caliber
I have a 270 in a Remington 700 ADL and it's very accurate. I've cut bullet holes at 100 yards lots of times. I think most Remington 700's in any caliber will do the same. I've lost count of the deer I've taken with this rifle. As for the 300's, I don't know why you would need something that powerful to kill a deer with.

THERES NO SUCH THING AS KNOCKDOWN POWER ! 30-06 and .270 have killed more deer than you have seen in magazines, tv, and ever dreamed about, at over 300 yds. Make sure brain is in gear before engaging mouth. |
