Biggest mule deer I killed was with a .270 at 560 yards with a lowly 130 grain Sierra GK and a case full of 4831 powder. You can shoot as far as your comfortable with the .270, I shot that buck on a CRP field that had been mowed off by hail. I've killed several elk with the .270 as well, always used a 150 grain Nosler Partitions and never recovered a bullet. All elk were taken at 250 yards or less. The only real limiting factor to the .270 is the shooter.
