Thread: 270 over penetration at close range?

I propose a theory that there are heaps of newby hunters out there with Tikka 270s because thats what some guy at the pub/gun shop/internet forum told them to buy. The reason for the deer running away is cos they're newbies who aren't putting the bullet in the right place, but the Tikka ad said the gun wouldn't miss and they haven't learnt about shot placement yet so they blame the bullet.

The reason the 7mm08 doesn't get the same reputation is that those people are too busy drinking their lattes to go hunting, or they don't tell anyone when they don't get a deer.
