.270

For the flatter shooting? I like the .243 since it is like shooting a .22 (no kick). Is the .270 the same?

>>32443138
I should point out that the .270 is the only round aid the four that I've never fired.

>>32443138
I have a howa 1500 and a rem 700 both in .243, I'd get the .243.

>>32443179
I know I like the .243. With good shot placement, it can take the hogs and deer. Should I double down? We have a 200 acre ranch, so you can never have too many guns I suppose.

I honestly got to get away from different cartridges because simpler is better. I'm trying to stick to 9mm, .357 and .243.

I personally have no need for anything more. I've seen the capabilities of .243 at rages one would expect only 30-06 could reach and am fine with it. I buy or reload all 100gn. It's a fucking laser beam inside 200 yards which is where my game is going to be. I have no regrets and have never fired a non fatal shot at an animal.

>pic is spine shot at 120 yards, exit side

That's a pretty deer. Honestly, on the ranch, I won't be taking shots over 200 yards. I guess the reason I was leaning towards 30-06 is that all the bubbas out here think it's a required rifle. There is nothing out here that you need such a stout round for. Maybe I should stick with what I know and like.

rofl Could've just run it down and it would've died of exhaustion.

>Is the .270 the same?
Not even kinda. Every .270 I've shot kicked like a mule.

>>32443245
You have a 30-30 for fuck sake, there's no more "murrican" required than that imho. My lever is a 1894c in .357 which I load to 30-30 performance then slap that shit in my 686 for 30-30 hand gun.

>>32443262
Kek, yeah I know, couldn't see spots until I walked up to drag it out. Slung it over my shoulder and walked out. Two weeks to eat the whole thing.

It's ok. We've all been there. I blew bambi up with my DDV7 a few years ago. Frontal shot to the chest cavity. Turned out it wasn't a small doe.

So .243 is the general consensus. Didn't expect that.

>>32443291
So it was charging right at you?

You weren't worried about busting the guts into the meat?

>>32443322
At this time of day, it's mostly Australian /k/.

It's not that surprising.

I don't suspect this is an Australian response thread.
