Backs up.Your darn tootin the .270 swings both ways. It is the swing rifle in my 3 rifle hunting battery. It backs up my deer and my elk rifle admirably and has accounted for many head of both.
I was responding to the .270. The whole "based on the 30-06 case" should have been a dead giveaway.I guess you're watching a different video than mine. The rifle barely moves and is nothing like a .30-06. The Norwegians and Swedes, even the Finns, have been using this calibre since 1895, as I noted, and have untold success with it. I used it as a biathlon rifle, and never once got knocked on my butt by the recoil.
But don't let's argue.
The figures say - with an 8 pound rifle -
.30-06 - 17.81 ft lbs.
6.5x55SE - 14.9 ft lbs
However, you have your opinion based on your experience, and I have my opinion, based on my experience - that's why the gunmakers will never go out of business.

0. It's terble to be so iggerunt.Think he is talking about the .270, Tac.
Sounds fine to me, especially when it's emanating from one of those Scandinavian beauties.And besides, the 7mm-08 is better, since the Scandinavians sound funny.
There are several sides to this question, so I will address them one at a time.I want to start hunting deer and elk. I want to buy a hunting rifle, but not sure which caliber to choose. For Elk hunting, any opinions about 6.5 Creedmoor vs. .300 Winchester vs. .30-06? Will any of these do for Elk in terms of ballistics and being able to kill with one shot (with proper bullet placement of course)?
For deer hunting, my impression based on what I've read so far is that the three above will also work for deer, but some people use .223. However, my impression is that .223 is best used by a highly skilled marksman at shorter distances to avoid only wounding the deer. I did come across a type of .223 round that is made specifically for deer hunting (Winchester 223 Remington 64 gr Extreme Point Deer Season XP) that is supposed to match the performance of heavier bullets, but not sure if even this kind of round is best used by someone with lots of experience to avoid simply wounding. Curious if anyone has experience with this particular Winchester ammo.
Any guidance is appreciated!
