Thread: How much does a 270Win suck in 2019?

Norsk.....my elderly friend builds beautiful custom rifles and is a gunsmith and hunter on a World Class level. I wasn't there to observe.
He recounted the story to me over drinks at a gun club dinner. From memory I believe the gist of the event was the bullet entered the throat chest area and went deep into the bears upper chest and came out his back thus damaging the spine. Don't see a .38 revolver doing that. I said " I doubt if you could do that 10 times in a row and he agreed."
I think both you and I know that there is absolutely no comparison of a .38 revolver cartridge vs any of the popular center fire rifles.
My friend stated that it was not a high percentage shot. I can tell you, that we he was young, he was not your average Joe.
