I just wrote a long post about how I wouldn’t worry about over penetration. OK. You use a .270 for home defense? Now it is time to worry about over penetration. Any misses now have a substantial risk of danger. You hope it splatters on something, but those long bullets with their relatively high ballistic coefficient launched at 3,000 feet per second.

Yes, over pentration. I would never use a high powered rifle for home defense in a suburb. Out in the stick with a mile between neighbors, sure. In the suburbs? Absolutely no way. I think any high powered rifle cartridge is a bad choice to use in the suburbs. Not even the .223.

The takedown .270 is a great, all-around weapon that meets several needs.
Number one, it's usually left together and ready to use (loaded, because an unloaded weapon will only get you killed).
Number two, know what you're shooting at.
The military (I'm retired) trains with the .308 in urban settings all the time.
Number three, it's not for amateurs.
