I have just returned from Northumberland were I was after
fallow bucks. I was using a .270 Win with the old 130gr
Nosler soft point boatails. It would appear that fallow
are pretty tough beasts! One I shot was taken through
both lungs and the heart. Like most animals it ran for
30 yards or so, just like red stags but it was still
trying to get up and required a finishing shot, unlike
reds which seem to go down and stay down. The bullet
did not exit.
Do members of the stalking side of cybershooters think
that the .270 should be replaced by a .30 calibre for
better results on fallow in woodland that you do not
want to lose, if the shot placement is not perfect? I
know some people swear by the .243 for neck shots but
this must be able under powered for fallow, sitka and
red. Or should I go to heavy or premium bullets?
