I’m gonna disagree that the .270 and 7/08 are equals. Maybe on paper. I hadn’t compared the ballistics. But I’ve killed a number of deer with each caliber. My experience is the .270 is a masher. If they run, they don’t go far and the blood trail is copious. I couldn’t get blood trails with the 7/08. I usually found my deer but it was circling and looking for a white belly. I’d take the .270. And, yes, I know what opinions are like…

“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.”
