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

more likely bullet selection and shot placement than caliber i reckon aye broski. ive pole axed red deer with .223s and had fallow walk away from the 300 ultra mag . damn haha . on a side note, the 'what gun should i buy' threads should have there own lil section in the forum aye haha . buy a .303 and take your other $600 to the brothel - win win

You have a very balanced perspective on life Dave. I like the way you think.
