Although I prefer the 25.06 I have to admit the .270 is capable of taking any deer at any range one should be taking shots at. In most incidences 800 yards is far beyond where one should be hunting deer. At this distance too many factors become important. Accurite range estimation is vital, a mere 50 yard mistake can mean the difference between a hit and a miss. Wind drift can easily move your bullet up to 2 feet. At this distance any uphill or downhill shot will effect the height. If you can shoot 1" at a 100 yards from a bench what will your grouping size be in the position you use in the field? In a hunting situation you will not likely get the chance to fire a round to adjust for these factors like you could on the range. Just too many varibles to be shooting at a fine game animal like a deer at 800 yards. JMO
