Sure it's perfect for deer as are the others that are listed. Hell A 45-70 is perfect for deer in the right scenario. The point of the whole argument is being missed here. The 270 is a perfect cartridge for deer. That is what it was developed for in the first place. Is it the only perfect cartridge for deer?? No.... Of course not. It works for deer at short range and at long. It's one of those cartridges that just seems to outperform it's actual ballistics. The whole point here is that the cartridge is fairly easy to learn to shoot well because it doesn't recoil excessively. It is flat shooting at pretty long range and ammo is easy to find...anywhere deer are hunted with rifles. Now guys, don't get all het up over this post. It isn't the only perfect round but it is one of the Most perfect. So is the 30-30 for the guy that knows his ranges he can shoot. The 300 Mags are ...well.. perfect for some also. BUT for the average shooter buying his ammo it is one of the best. You all do have to realize that the average hunter probably isn't the best shot in the world...can't take too much recoil and isn't a reloader anyway. I figure that Andy and most of the people who have posted here are above average in their hunting abilities. So be it. BUT the mags aren't easy to shoot and harder to learn to shoot well takes them out of the PERFECT for the average shooter. Heck...I bought a Weatherby 300 Mag to hunt moose with in Alaska. A friend up there still has my rifle and it must be a perfect moose rifle...he kills his every year with it...so it must be perfect for moose. Personally I liked the 338 Win mag for moose a whole lot better. The 338 was fairly easy for me to shoot. The 300 Weatherby??? Hated the darn thing. Kicked violently and was really loud. Couldn't shoot it for squat. I can't sell it cause it was an early Weatherby and worth a good bit. Guess what I'm trying to say is that the PERFECT deer rifle is the one you can shoot the BEST!!!!
A very UNIQUE idea isn't it??
