The .270win:The perfect deer cartridge?

[Classicvette63]

I nailed a big buck right behind the lungs this year. Ok, it was gut shot. I used a '06 with 180gr Rn Core-Lokt. It ran about 150 yds. If shot with anyting less, like a .270, 6mm, .30-30 etc it would have ran a lot furhter. There is no doubt about that. When I hunt with the 6mm I know i can bring down a deer, although the placement has to be almost perfect. With a .270 the placement is not 100% critical, and even less so with '06. Even though we all strive for an instantaneously kill. It doesn't always happen.
