I’m a devotee of the church of O’Conner, There is nothing in North America that the .270 can’t handle.

I would use the 90 to 130, the 150 came after I gave my 270 to my son.

That's how I felt about it too.
It was a very good varmint gun and big enough for elk, maybe even moose.

I like a 270.
I run hand loads with 130gr Nosler ballistic tip hunting bullets for whitetails almost exclusively.

Here, .270,130 grain , I shoot one shot every year.

Nice try ATF, nice try

I agree , haven't used anything else

I've only shot 4 elk with my 270 .......more than that with a bow

But unless you get a perfect shot , they don't hit the ground right away

I once shot at a deer in a soybean field. The deer was a long way out. Upon the shot, several deer that I had not seen ran away. I assumed I missed, so when a deer stopped, I took a shot at it. More deer ran.

I climbed down from my stand and went to my truck. My blue heeler was waiting in the cab. We drove to the field where the deer had been seen and began to search. I was pretty sure I had not killed anything. I did not know the yardage. I found a dead doe and couldn't believe it. I called the dog but she would not come. Oh crap, could I have killed both deer? Yep, I had. She was standing over the other deer.

The rifle was a M700 Rem in 270. The bullet was a 140-grain Sierra. A friend saw me in the field and stopped to ask if I needed help. I told him what had happened. He had a range finder, and he put it on the stand at the woodline where I made the two shots. The range was 540 yards. Without knowing, I just held a wee bit over the back of each deer.

Those are my two longest shots. I like a 270.

I've shot a pile of whitetails using Remington 130 grain core lokt rounds, drops a whitetail in their tracks with little to no meat damage, the 150's are another story..... the deer don't even flinch when hit, they just take off but usually drop within 50 yards. Ive been told that the 150's are awesome on bear and bigger animals and the 130's should be used on whitetail sized animals..I shot a bear a few years back with the 130 grain core lokt's, first shot through the heart, it dropped and got right back up and started away from me, second shot was downhill and i hit in front of the hind quarter and took out the liver, it kept going and i shot a third time hitting it in the hind quarter, it spun towards me and the fourth and final shot a frontal through the brisket which hit the heart again. A friend of mine who also shoots a .270 told me the 130's are too light for bears and to shoot 150's, he has taken two PA black bears one over 375 lbs and both dropped in their tracks with the 150's.

My Rem 700, made in the mid 1980's, loves 130gr Sierra Gamekings and 140 gr Nosler Accubonds even more.

My wife, daughter, and I have shot several bear with 130 grain Core-Lokt and none of them needed more than one shot.

I've owned 4 different 270s, currently have a Browning Auto. I really like it. Shot 130 grain core lokts for ever. Killed a lot of deer with them. The 130s are rough on meat under 100 yards or if you hit bone. I have only killed 3 elk with them and they do work if you have the optimum conditions but there are way better calibers for elk hunting.

Yes. 130 grainers

When I was young I had two hi-powers. 30-30 and 270. Shot a lot of coyotes with 270. When you pick up the coyote it looks ruined. Looks like the exit wound is the size of a softball. If you pelt and wash you will see the exit is really more of a tear 3-4 inches long and sewing is not a big deal.

Use 150 grain Noslers on elk and moose.

As much as I like my 308 which shoots a one hole group if I let the barrel cool off before the 3rd shot, I think I like my half inch group shooting 270 better due to the fact that it is much flatter shooting which is more forgiving when shooting at deer out to 300-400 yards.
Once I shoot the 308 past 300 yards I need to know what that yardage is within 50 yards or it will turn into marginal hit.

My wife shoots 150 in her 270, it was her dad's gun and he had a few 160 grain that she shot up
when she first got it. It was his Elk gun for years.
