Honestly if you have an accurate rifle that you like to carry anywhere and are familiar with whether it be a 270 or a 308 or any sensible deer cartridge you wont go wrong...I used to beat myself up...

I must admit the couple of possums I've removed from the food chain with the 45/70 MIGHT have been overkill... ;)

The .270 is a good cal and can't go wrong with it running a suppressor. Imo there's no better all round caliber than the .308 for all NZ hunting, velocity isn't too high for close range bush hunting...

bear in mind though you can also run the 180gr in the 308 and the larger diameter round will still make a larger hole. And I am a believer that speed isn't everything. If the animal catches the...

that is exactly why I have been using the 45/70 with 18 inch barrel. 325 grains travelling at around 2000fps still leaves a big hole and instant drop , rarely do they move far . The only reason I am...

Phil_H I found them slow killers unless I hit bone say front leg/shoulders. Granted if you were running them in a 300WM at 300fps faster than my 308 they might do better but I just wasn't happy with...

Sponsors were providing factory rifles and factory ammo. The crew then had to work out what was more effective in that setup for a short rifle. Turned out the 270 beat the others hence they used it.

The shorter you go the larger the holes in the Barrel. But note recoil and noise increase. 308 Family case size , 30, 338, 358 will all make Big holes and the best use of a short barrel. of course...
