re: .308 vs .270. Which should I get?

The reason I said I’d choose the 125gr is just in case I needed something with a little more zip on it in a rare situation that I have a deer I want to take that’s 250+ yds

I'm not even sure that you can find deer hunting rounds in 125g .308. I'd thing those would be a varmit bullet.

If you aren't getting pass throughs it's because you're using ballistic tips. Get something with a Barnes TSX, Nosler Partition or a 168 gr bullet.

Because frick that caliber, that’s why. I hate it.

You're just mad it's stealing the shine off your favorite 6.5 swede. Well, that and it's just a better round than the Swede...
