270...can't bang flop?

I have a buddy who routinely bang flops white tails with his 22-250.. the bullet actually geletanizes the area around the entry wound, I hate it because it wastes too much meat. Now consider how much heavier a 270 slug is.
 
Shoot a deer in the lungs and he will most times run a bit.

Hit him broadside in the shoulder and break some major bones and he will drop. Same goes for a "spine shot".

ive killed more deer with a .270 win and 150 gr slugs than any other gun

it does the same damage as my 30-06 with 180 gr on deer and there is very little difference on elk and moose sized game

.270 is an excellent choice for any north american game...MORE than enough power to "bang flop"

after all...its shot placement that determines how the animal reacts...not the bullet

No he does not!!

Everybody knows it's Winchester 30-30.

And he uses Dominion Cling Core soft points, too.

Pretty sure its a .270 but I wont dispute the Kling Kor Soft Points (KKSP's)....
although those freekin Sabre Tips in 180 grain .30 caliber near drove me to drinking.

Would be a damn fine idea here in Canada IMHO. And would probably cut down on the gong show antics seen around the country every season.

I know more than a couple hunters that would be scared s***less of having to try that test. Range practise means sitting the gun on a rest and pulling the trigger and seeing what kind of groups it gets. I rarely see people shooting offhand at 100m

A an utramagnum rifle that shoots 0.5 MOA (off a bench rest), topped with an uber expensive, gazillion power scope, is completely meaningless to a shooting test like this.

Running moose at 80m and the target area is (I believe) 23cm

I have been reading a lot on the 270 this past week, mostly internet BS and other forum posts etc

I have read at least 5 that put down the 270 for not being able to kill quickly. Basically saying, you shoot the amimal and 50-100 yrds run later it drops or beds down.

Now of course bullets and hits etc will have a lot to do with it, but I found it interesting that kept popping up

thoughts?

That sounds like the words of someone that cant hit the mark, I've used a 270 for a long time and never had an animal take off after a well placed shot.

The 270 has been in use for 84 years now, I think it has passed it's performance evaluations.

Gun Mag writers seem to over look this little detail, and also the fact that the performance of the older cartridges was what built their industry to begin with.
