[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 405411"] That's a difficult question to answer, as personal tastes are quite subjective. It's difficult to do a 'which is better' comparison between two different calibers - especially when there is such a significant difference in bullet sizes. Making it even more difficult is the fact that the .308 is a short action and the .270 is a long action. In my opinion, the .308 is superior because it can shoot heavier bullets, uses less powder/has less kick, can utilize higher BC bullets (more earodynamic) and is notoriously accurate at long ranges, but it really depends on what the particular gun's application is. Off the top of my head I can think of no instance where I'd choose a .270 over the .308, but I'm kinda biased to begin with. :) [/QUOTE]
