270 or 308 or 30-06

[K3]

Real World:

.270 = .30-06 = .308 = .280 Rem = 7mm-08 = 6.5x55 = .260 Rem = 7x57

It is the rifle, the projectile used and the shooter that make the difference, not the caliber or chambering.

For most hunting, this is largely true. There are always exceptions of course. On our lease, I think everybody has a different flavor they like.

There's
.308
.270
.30-06
.25-06
.300Wby Mag,
.243

We have mule deer and whitetail. One big muley field dressed at 275# a couple years back. Point is, all these different cartridges and I can't honestly say who has bagged and tagged more deer and if there was any discernable difference in percentage as far as hits vs clean kills go. We don't have blinds, so shots range from 50 to over 400 yards.

I would use 4 of those cartridges with confidence for elk hunting.

You have asked for a comparison chart. Then what is this poll for? Is it what we prefer, and if so, for what purpose. Thanks
