[QUOTE="Jeepasaurusrex, post: 1408311, member: 15991"] [B]I shoot a Howa 1500 chambered in .270 Winchester. Between my Dad and I we have dropped everything from Elk, Deer, Bear, Grouse (poof!) you name it with the .270. Its all about shot placement. The .270 is a very accurate round and you can put the shot where you need it. The problem with guns like the 30-06 is that at longer ranges the bullet will drop faster than the .270. For example, for me to hit dead on at 500yds with my .270, I am shooting 2" high at 100yds. A 30-06 is almost 5" high at 100yds to hit the same point. I'm not knocking the 30-06, its a great round. I killed my first deer with one. But if I had a choice, I would go with a .270. The 30-06 would be my second followed by the .300 Win Mag.[/B] :cool: [B]Note the neck shot.
