A lot of information in this thread that means little. The only way to compare performance between rounds is to make those comparisons with bullets of equal Ballistic Coefficient and equal sectional densities. The weight of the projectile is almost irrelevant to how it performs down range. It's velocity, shape (B.C.), and sectional density will determine its trajectory and retained energy.
Compare the 130 grain .270 to a 200 grain .30 caliber bullet with a B.C. of over .300 at about 2950 fps from a .300 Win and see what the numbers prove downrange.
Such comparisons must be "fair" in a true scientific sense if they are to have real meaning. Andecdotal evidence from individual cases in the field will be interesting but not very important as far as ballistic facts are concerned.
By the way, anyone want to argue about how many angels can sit on the head of a pin? The differences between the .270, .280, and .30-06 on deer are as impossible and irrelevant to define.
