Different variables though like Pa hill jack yardage vs the long rangers. My pet 270 is shot out and undergoing gender cal. change. lol But I have others. When you shoot one out you learn what ya like.

It didn't drop in his tracks . I just kind of looked stunned. He quickly put a second round in its heart. Made me worry a little bit about what would have happened if he hadn't shot it a second time. But a 250 deer is different than a hundred pound deer. And yes I really am not a fan of the Superformance powder other than, and luckily, in the 270. The 3 other cartridges I've tried it in sucked. Same with staball 6.5, just not as bad. I don’t know what you’re calling the Adams apple maybe the throat patch? You shoot a deer in the throat patch I don’t care if you’re using a 22 Long rifle solid knows it’s not just gonna stand there and look Stunned Not sure it will be standing at all. The kinetic energy behind a 270 no matter what bullet will drop a deer shot in the throat patch. Like I mentioned earlier I shot a 6 mm 87 gr and tried to go for throat patch hits for a reason. NTR. no tracking required. Had one deer that was a bad angle and it didn’t kill it instantly but it dropped like a rock. Laid for about a minute then tried to raise its head But then flopped Let me rephrase it IVE NEVER SEEN A DEER hit in the throat patch just stand there Last edited by jbyrd63; 04/14/26 09:47 AM.

Parts. over the Core Lokts or GKs in 270 every time, from those experiences. Meat? Straps loins and hinds, it's not a cow. But no dead deer pics on this reply so.

Might not happen very often but I caped out the deer completely myself I know exactly where the bullet hit and what gun was used. Sorry for the bad news. Facts are facts and opinions are opinions.

Not sure if that shot placement is close to the Adam’s apple but it worked on harvesting the doe. Some don't want to "ruin " the meat from a shoulder shot then neck shoot them. I do it because EVERY ONE of the deer I have neck shot are laying right there.
