[QUOTE="sbhooper, post: 881138, member: 72297"] Personally I think it would come down to personal preference as far as small to moderate game hunting. The .270 would definitely offer more options, but the 06 will work fine, too, for Texas hunting. I think that I would split the difference and get a .260 with a short action. The bottom line in the velocity discussion, is that the longer a bullet is for caliber, the slower that you can push due to the increased bearing surface. That is why the 6.5 bullets generally are slower than others. They are very long for caliber and it takes a lot more to push them faster. The high bc of the long bullets pays off down range, but it starts slower. Just my take on it anyway. [/QUOTE]
