Hello,
I have been shooting since i was fairly young. moving from the red ryder BB gun, to dads old winchester 30-30. at 12 i got my .270, and havent looked back since. dad has a .30-06, that i reload for, along with my .270, and we havent been able to do one thing the other cant. weve tried hitting clay pigeons at 5-550 yards, and both have pretty much no problem. i know the .270 is a flatter shooting gun, but the 30-06 can hold a heavier bullet, but really, what is the huge difference? I use the Hornady SST 130 gr. (handloaded) and dad uses the 160 gr. green tip Nosler BT. and we are holding just about the same group. he had a buck run on him last year, after an amazing shoulder shot, when my buck didnt even get 5 feet... so the bottom line, what is the big. diff. in the two? after well over 8,000 rounds through my .270, i still cant figure it out. any insight?:boxing:
