HyNoon Report post Posted December 4, 2020 I like a 270 as well ,thats what my wife shoots. She has taken an elk to javelina with it and she loves it. I've killed two deer with it and that dropped in their tracks. Very good caliber as well. Grew up shooting a 270 at everything. Plenty of good options. I also have shoot deer and elk with a 30-06, .308, and 6.5 CM..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a Winchester pre64 in 270 , it kicks a tad bit harder than my browning lever action in 308, ive only shot it maybe 20-25 times in 30+ years never at game just paper. Dad had one also a pre 64 that he used for everything. especially hogs in Texas and whitetails in upstate NY and Texas. I want an elephant 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10Turkeys Report post Posted December 4, 2020 I'm surprised there hasn't been more mention of a 6.5 Creedmor. Don't let this happen to you! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UggRedBilly Report post Posted December 4, 2020 Gotcha! I see that it just has a higher velocity at longer ranges than analog of calibers too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
