Thread: Max ethical range on a 7.62x39 bolt-action for deer

Doesn't really need much explaining ... the 270 is a mere 7mm and the 308 a whopping 7.62 mm. The 270 has virtually no recoil and suites those with less physically presence. I once shot a Reedbuck behind the head at all of 50 metres once. Dropped right there, no second or third shots required.

Virtually no recoil you say ????? what 270 are you shooting ???
mine is not what I would call un managable but certainly gives much more solid boot than my old 308 and I would say is on par with my old 7mm rem mag
I certainly woould not call it a light recoil option

Heard of 'tongue in cheek' before. I was merely going along with what 2post started. Apologies.

Perhaps we need a "270 Pisstake" thread so's everybody knows what to expect.

In the spirit of fair play, a 7mm08 one as well...

At least 270"s it own calibre.
7-08 is only an "almost" calibre
Not quite 284 but not quite 308 either.

It's the beige of bullets.
If calibers were people it would drive a Nissan tiida

No apologies required, my skin is thick enough not to be pierced by 7mm08 keyboard comments. I thought you were being serious
