And the .270 doesn't hold anything over the .280 and .30-06 in any deer hunting situation.

Mike Moss,

I didn't twist anything. That is the data that Barnes' reloading manual shows for the bullets, cartridges, and velocities I used. If you were to look at my first post, you would see that I wasn't endorsing the .270 as the perfect deer gun. In fact, if you read all of my posts on this thread, you would know that I was making an argument for my .300 Win Mag, not my .270. Find the lb/ft for the bullets I listed and let me know what you find. Sure, I could find data for a .270 bullet that is much less aerodynamic and post those numbers, but that wouldn't be the truth. I guess I could have looked at a lot more data, plugged it all into a spreadsheet, and then come up with some type of answer. However, I use a 130 gr. bullet in the .270 for deer and a 150 gr. bullet in the .300 Win Mag for deer, so I used the data for those bullets.
