.270 vs .308 for hunting?

[4ssss]

Browning A-Bolt, no good?

C'mon, put that Ted Williams single shot away and buy a real gun.

Dude! I have a Ted Williams shotgun from the 1960's that still looks brand new. I mean it's spotless.

That and a new looking Remy 700 BDL were my fathers guns I got handed down to me when he passed. No they don't go out a lot. Not hardly at all. If I get picked for the elk lottery up here me and the Remy will go out for a stroll. I grew up cleaning those guns after a hunt. They are part of my youth. 😁

Both are great rounds/rifles. They will both kill everything in the state of GA if that is of concern. Nearly everything in the lower 48 for that matter.

Handloading makes both of these calibers shine.

Absolutely!

The deer can't tell what action you have. There are a ton of actions in many calibers that will kill a deer just as dead.

Sure, but the shooter may have a preference......Don't you?........

I think I need to sell a .308 or two lol..

Nah

308 is a short action and I do like a short action rifle

For example, a Tikka T3X in 308 will be on a long action with a bolt stop. Because all their actions are long action, even though 308 is a short action cartridge.

My first ever rifle was a Ruger Round Top, 1974..In .270 'cause back then it was the thing. THEN the mighty 7mm Mag was the thing. Now I have a .308 hunting rifle, my thing now. If you live long enough everything goes around. But, either caliber is good enough in Ga., it's already been mentioned in this thread. Or, get a rifle in each ...
