tractorran said: (quoted from post at 21:17:12 04/05/08) what in your opinion would be a good high power rifel i dont wanna lob any bullets i want a straight shooter thinking 270 7MM always sounded cool but i want some deer left when im done any opinions are helpfull thanks
I've mostly used a .250/3000 (about the same ballistics as a 6mm Rem or .243 Win) on both deer and elk. It's real good on coyotes and prarie dogs, too. The furthest elk I shot was about 300 yards. He didn't know I was anywhere around and I shot him through the lungs. He made it about 50 yards up-slope and was down and done by the time I got to him. Shot placement counts for more than anything I'd say. The .270 was old Jack O'Connor's favorite and he wrote a lot about them in his books and his Outdoor Life articles. I've shot some and, to me, the .270 seems to have a 'sharper' kick than an '06 but that's just me. If I was taking one rifle for a Canadian or Alaskan hunt it would be an 06 with several different handloads for light and heavy game. Well, after all that I'd say that if you can shoot a .270 with real accuracy it will be 'just right' for you :)

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
