Can a 270 rifle be used to shoot kudu?
While the .270 is a little light for kudu,it can still be used.Here in the United States the .270 has killed alot of elk and the greater kudu is much the same size. If it were me I would load the 150gr. nosler partition,or a barnes 150gr triple shock for the game in question.The most important thing in any hunting situation is the ability to put the bullet in the right spot under hunting conditions.If you shoot your 270 accurately then it is better to shoot that then a bigger caliber that you do not shoot as good.
