I understand all those things
But see deer get shot everyday and I've formed the opinion that almost anything is better than a 270.

You see deer get shot everyday by once every six months hunters who sight their rifle in and call it job done...

Very true but there's more blood to follow when they use a decent gun
Sorry it's deeply rooted hate
I do hope one day you'll see the light

If people use a quality round with a well constructed bullet then the .270 will be as effective a caliber as any other on the hill.
Poorly constructed and cheap (usually 130 grain) bullets that suffer premature blow up and jacket separation are where the problem is with the .270...not the caliber!

I'm now glad I missed out on your hunt offer, was going to bring my .222.

No, like with any calibre the right bullet in the right place, all comes down to me getting it right.

The rifle in my photo is a .222, I've lost a few animals with it due to poor shot placement because my finger was getting itchy
