[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2260585, member: 5412"] I've killed them out to 300 yds which is a chip shot, but I will say that the .270 does not have a good reputation in long distance. It Is not used in any hi-power competitions, long range, open competitions, and the story continues. Why? Its just not inherently accurate with the combo of bullet/caliber. The round was championed in many magazines by Jack O'conner as the ultimate elk round when he was debating the small round vs the major firepower that Elmer Kieth said was necessary to take down big game. They debated both directions with legions of followers. I own a .270 and have killed many deer with the 130 grain round. The 30-06 was the king of the 1000 yard open sight matches at Camp Perry National matches for many years. The .270 has never made an apperance. [/QUOTE]
