This is still hunting not just shooting. I'm not a shooter of anything .270 but I did build a .270 WSM which I use on rare occasions. So stick with what you know or step up/down to another cartridge with the best designed bullet for the task. I hunt Coues deer in southern AZ using a .240 Weatherby Mag.
