    Sounds like you got lucky. Could have been no deer had you not seen it get up

    was in open country and we were watching carefully as we got closer. I don't normally take shot that far but deer were heading off to safer ground. had re sighted rifle in day before so was confident enough to take shot.

    .270 win are rubbish!!! Need to ream out the chamber to .270 Gibbs. 11.1% increase in case capacity over the standard 270. 150gn projectiles at 3000-3100 fps. Now we are talking.

    It is all down to projectile choice and bullet placement. Like we tell the newbies in Huntsoc anything from 243 up in the right spot will work just fine.
