Good Lord! You can immediately tell who know about calibers and those who are still looking at the hole in the ground trying to figure out if it is their ass!
Simply put, different calibers are made because it is cool! I love cool guns and cool calibers! I have been in this game a long time! Once and for all, if you use a good bullet and place it where it is suppose to go, everything from a .223 to a .50BMG will work.
If you disagree, read this again before you post something stupid, again. If you still disagree, that is either a hole in the ground over there or your ass, you go figure it out!

Wait.....what?? .270 wouldn’t do what? And a 30-06 did what and you did what with the scope? Oh good lord! There just are no words! Except, well never mind it really doesn’t matter........

Jack O’Connor killed EVERY animal in North America with a 270. That’s a good enough for me.

308 is the low rent cousin of 30-06 I've only shot a handful of deer with my 308, from 100 to 400 yards, but all of them dropped in their tracks.

When man prayed to God for a deer rifle God provided the 270 because it’s perfect. Because man is imperfect and needed a second choice God created the 7-08 because it’s as close to perfect as you can get. There’s literally no other caliber that can compare to those two for whitetail deer hunting. I bought a 270. Just would not put them down like the ol 06. Took the scope off of it after 2 seasons and about 8 deer. and went back to where I belong. Fine caliber. Not for me. Then you have an ammo or accuracy issue. 2 with Hornady Interlock. The rest with130 Gr Noslar Partitions Chronographed at 3200 through both lungs and heart. All but one, which dropped, ran anywhere from 50 to 100 yards, leaving very little if any blood. All dead deer, but I do not like to look for them especially with no blood. Two of those deer I did not find until the next day due to poor blood trail. The meat was ruined. All the numbers suggest that it should be the perfect deer caliber. My experience was less than desirable. You might be right, maybe a different bullet would help with this problem, but after loosing two deer I was done with it. What bullet do you shoot in the .270. I like the 140 grain Sierra game kings. I've only been able to recover one bullet. It was a perfect mushroom and weigh 124 grains. It only lost 16 grains. I think deer are like people. Some just have more of a will to live than others. I shot a buck with a 30-06 150 gr corelokt. Deer went 80 yards with no blood trail what so ever. When dressed, the heart was liquid. Some deer are just tougher than others....

Yep sometimes they are gonna run now matter what. Maybe blaming the caliber is the wrong thing to do. But when you are used to seeing them fall, and you change guns, then no longer have the same results, you have to ask why. The easiest thing was to go back to what I know works.

I know for certain he was wearing skinny jeans. Did he have his bitch biscuit tied up with a pretty pink ribbon or did he use one of those hair holder things that my daughter calls a scrunchy (sp)???? FIFY

Well I will take my Ruger # 1 270 and shoot with anyone I had a Winchester model 70 270 that was something else but I shoot left handed so I think one of my grandsons has it. It is not the calaber it’s the guy pulling the trigger 🇺🇸
I am drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. Thank you Lord

I own a couple creeds and they kill deer just as good as 308 270 243 and if owning one makes me a pusscake I'll wear that tag proudly
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Of the Creedmoor, I actually had someone who ought to know better tell me “Gravity doesn’t affect it like it does other bullets.” I said, “Brah, what’re you smoking cause I want a hit.”
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”
