Can anyone explain why the 270 is not in flavour anymore - it sure was in the 80's - never saw a Deer lost with one (apart from the clean misses
All we used for lighting

I just like giving them shit as they're so pedestrian.

I meat shot with a mate who ran one and we were always having to look for deer.... They were dead on their feet but always got away a bit when body shot.
Was a pain in the ass looking for them.

Had another mate who ran one for a while in Haast and changed because of the same reasons. They performed poorly over a large sample. Not just a handful of animals a year.
However in saying that, it was imo more due to projectile availability back then.
Heaps better projectiles available now.


Poo 43 is another story. I hate them with a passion as I owned one.

Don't care what projectiles you can get now for them, I just hate them. Cost me a lot of time and money over a few seasons persisting with one.
