Audience photos:
270 Winchester: Alaska Dall Sheep taken by Jeff Riley using a Winchester Model 70 shooting 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet at about 90 yards.
270 Winchester: South Texas whitetail deer taken by Marty Heaner using Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition shooting a 145gr ELD-X bullet at 175 yards. Bullet hit buck high on the shoulder and he dropped in his tracks.
270 Winchester: Eastern Canada Moose taken by Tom Fetherston. He used a Ruger M77 firing Winchester Expedition Big Game Long Range ammunition loaded with a 150gr AccuBond Long Range bullet. Bull was strongly “quartering to” him at the shot (range of ~300 yards), but the bullet punched straight through the shoulder blade and hit the heart/lungs. The bull then turned broadside and Tom shot again, hitting behind the shoulder. The bull then almost immediately dropped.
