I don't shoot over 50m with mine. Open sights.

You are the professor 270 it is...thx

Excellent advice. If you only want to own one rifle at this point, the. 270 will let you hunt yotes to moose. The. 243 is not a reasonable moose round even if it can do it under optimal conditions. Have a bit of respect for the game. The. 243 is an experts round not a beginner. You're not fly fishing and playing catch and release. You are killing animals, do it as quickly and humanely. As possible.

Be careful with your .270 ammo choice if you wish to keep the pelts, or learn to sew. lol

Good choice for deer and up, not the best for vermin.

Just an FYI on the original post...All "overbore" calibers have the capability(based on case powder capacity to bore cross section area) to be damaging to the throat of the chamber.

Most people don't reload hot enough and shoot fast enough to significantly damage(burn) a barrel under reasonable use.

Enjoy your new .270.

Which is why I recommended he sight in with 130gr deer loads and shoot yotes with that too. The bullet will not explode on a small animal like a yote. I once shot a deer while moose hunting with my. 338. There was minimal bullet expansion and virtually no meat loss. How many deer have you shot with deer rounds you can say that about?

That why I like partitions

I agree. That deer was shot with a 250gr Nosler Partition doing 2750fps. No hide slap, no bloodshot meat at all. Almost like an arrow hole.
