Years ago there was a guy who wrote for "Sports Afield" magazine, I can't remember his name, but I think may have been Conners.??.

Anyway, He said the cutoff point for a gun being used on large dangerous game was 1,800 foot pounds of energy. That figure would give you the max range of that round on that kind of game..

I remember The guy was in love with his 270.. That round would be a little exotic for this hilljack (me), but whatever floats your boat, I guess..

Jack O’Conner was one of the most famous Outdoor writers until is dead from the 30’s on.

He did like the 270 Winchester caliber not exotic at all still is one of the best selling calibers out there.
