[QUOTE="Brad Norman, post: 2812316, member: 33163"] When I was a young man I hunted with a .308 or an '06 and all was well. Before my Grandfather passed away I inherited his old Remington 700 chambered in .270 Winchester. I thought out of sentiment I'd go Mule Deer hunting with it once . . . and I never went back to the .30 calibers. I don't know what it is about that cartridge and it sure can't be explained by looking at ballistic charts. It produces moderate recoil, has a flat trajectory, every .270 I've owned has been quite accurate (especially with Sierra Game Kings) and for some reason they kill very quickly and cleanly. My hunting buddy in Nevada and another in Wyoming refer to it as the .270 Magic. My Son and I have tinkered with other calibers and also found the 6.5-284 to be terrific. Still, for everything from Elk to Deer to Antelope to Coyotes I keep going back to the .270 Winchester. I make a little joke about it, but it's really true . . . I'm well aware there are other hunting cartridges besides the .270, I just don't know why! Whatever cartridge you select, have fun and good hunting to you Sir! [/QUOTE]
