Hence the post, was wondering if it was all banter or if there were valid reasons. This forum is pretty handy for honest information, a Google search just leads you to whichever bias you already have.

.277 but think the hole was a bit bigger on the way out?

I like them like this, easier to carry when only half the animal is left edible.

It's getting to a point where we are trying to make a wheel more rounder.

It would have more likely been pantywaste.

Well it filled in a rainy day, most of my comments got the cancel button haha

Il stick with my 308,its a sholder breaker.270 still a good shooter tho.

I love my .270w howa..but by hoki I miss the BLR.308

Yip...and if you go with softer projectile you get more expansion and bruised bits/damage at slower speed.

Recently there was a thread about "what will kill of the 7mm RM . . . 6.5 PRC was my answer and Id say it has the potential to dong the 270 as well. Some modern cartridges just make sense. It's nice to like your 270 but in all good conscience I wouldn't suggest it to a young hunter buying a new rifle. If they were looking secondhand - maybe.

Id love to see the posts you cancelled.

Probably said this before but there was a wonderful article by Geoff Roache in the NZ Guns extolling the virtue of the 270. He was doing a lot of shooting around Ruatahuna on big red stags across big gullies. With a 130gr pill it flattens deer. Think Tinsley used a 270 on wapiti . Greame Sinclair used a 270 and also a 25/06 when he hunted with Tinsley.

What a bunch of gaybo's!

It's definitely been the most accurate post in this thread so far.
