Thread: Having that 'best deer hunting cal' argument with a mate. 6.5x55 vs .270win vs 308

as far as the 270 goes if you've got one and you like it good on you however it would be the last cal I would suggest to anyone after seeing on two occasions newbees getting shipped of in an ambo from being scoped that hard they where out cold both were light weight 270's high recoil is for the experienced only

if you don't reload and you want a rifle id go 243,7mm-08,308, or 6.5x55(if you don't mind it going abit slower) my brother shot heaps with fed blue box out of his 6.5 slow yes but still works sweet around 2600fps (rough guess) I think people get abet to caught up with speed these days

Ah that sounds like shit coaching to me, my 308 boots harder than any 270 i've fired. This argument is just gayness revisited over and over again. We need Toby here to put the end word on it all
