    I only give advise based on personal opinion in which I have had/seen a couple of cases where a .270 didnt cut the mustard, but its a popular caliber so Im not saying there not good, just I dont like them.

    Placing the shot is important with any caliber, it just gets easier as the diameter goes up when its likely to graze a twig/vine/leaf on route
    mucko, Toby and Scouser like this.
