Hello — I use the factory load 270. (8.4 g); it produces 2 cm groupings from my Tikka. I sight the rifle in with a 4 cm high zero at 100 m. The performance has always been very good.

An incredibly kind person — he challenged us and demanded a lot, but that’s exactly what we came for. The hunt was tough, honest, and fair towards the game. He had some truly great ideas, and there were many educational moments for us as well. It was also important to me that the red deer here...

I’m also planning my next trip, but I’d like to try not booking with a German outfitter this time (feel free to send me tips via PM).

Hello — I hunt a lot of mouflon in Germany. Mouflon are very hard to stop with a shot, so you should definitely aim for the shoulder; otherwise the flight distance can be very long. I use Hornady’s CX Superformance. The .270 is definitely sufficient — but, as already mentioned, be sure to shoot...

Hirschjagd in der Nähe von Brora Ende September ging es für mich zum ersten Mal auf Rothirschjagd in Schottland – genauer gesagt in der Nähe von Brora. Unsere Jagd war genauso, wie ich sie mir vorgestellt hatte: anspruchsvoll und herausfordernd – eben eine richtige Jagd. Unser Guide Scott hat...

Try S&B Exergy Blue if it's available where you are. I shoot about 200 fallow deer with it each year.

Hornady Superformance CX for Fallow Deer and Muflon

In Germany, the most commonly used caliber is the .308, followed closely by the .30-06. Both cartridges are sufficient for everything here, even for the biggest red stag. I recently went hunting in Scotland, and my stalker was using an S404 in .270. I was very impressed.
