    Re: Would like to hear opinions on the actual killing power of a 270 Win large game

    The 270 is adequate for everything up to and including field mice, assuming a good, stout 150 gr. bullet is used, but only for female and juvenile mice. I wouldn't recommend one for a bull mouse as they are much tougher and it is simply not enough gun.

    I Have to ask, Have you ever used a .270? Also what is your source of such a wealth of information?
    I personally have seen a lot of bull moose taken down with a winchester model 70 in .270. As for the field mice you mention, It is probably accurate enough for those too

    I once took a bull mouse with a .22 LR. True story. Shot placement is key.
