270 vs 30-06

[Oldmountaiman]

Every single species in the world was taken long before the magnums were ever invented. Heck most were taken at one time with flintlocks

Well more deer have been taken by 22 LR and it has always been a favorite for assassin's work.

He didn't say it was Legal , he said it has taken a huge number of deer .


To fill in the between the lines part ; .22LR is very common with poachers .

On that theme , 7mm Rem Mag has roughly same recoil as .30-06, but has Sectional Density, lower drag , etc for the much discussed flatter trajectory, and retained energy .
