Meh...
I had a 270 in 1989.
Wounded 2 deer I never found.
Got a 3006 the next year and never looked back.
They normally drop where they stand.
And those few that didn't, didn't go far.
I Hunt powerlines and fence lines, mostly.
Minimum shot is between 100-250 yds.
Skeleton Stocked Ruger M77 I bought the year my daughter was born.

Jack O Connor made us believers when we were young

Nothin wrong with a 270. Just never had one. I try not to buy new to me cartridges anymore

My first bolt action rifle was a .270 Win, would’ve been a great rifle if it hadn’t been in a lightweight synthetic stock. I’ve shot 12 ga, .300 Win Mag and even a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 that didn’t kick as hard as that rifle, that one was downright painful to shoot. After I sighted it in I sold it or traded it I don’t remember but I took it in a trade so it wasn’t really something I was looking to get to start with, I just had that old “trading bug” affliction real bad back then.

Stupid enough, I never got along with a 3006. The first one I had I think had a short length of pull and it was brutal. And I have a 458 Win Mag. Along with other African game rifles. I love a 308 though

How much anmmo are your shooting on the plains?

He hunts with an M60

I now hunt with a 350 Legend or a 308. Retired my Model 70 in 270. Kilt a lot of deer with that gun.

My first bolt action, in 1975, was a Ruger M77, round top. In .270. Never scoped it but it had pretty good sights from Ruger. Sold it in the 90's to a neighbor that was a Ruger collector. He was happy. I think the 7 mag kinda took it's place.

31 thousands of an inch was not the problem, it was bullet design and shot placement.

270win is goated. One thing the boomers were right about.
