[QUOTE="LordScythe, post: 405651, member: 25395"] Comparatively a 270 against a 308 is like everyone says it is preference choice. I prefer a 270 which is what I have been shooting for about 15 years and I have shot a 308, but to me a 270 does more for me than a 308 cause it can go longer, shoot flatter, in the long run to me it is cheaper. True a 308 can do more damage at a certain distance cause of the bigger heavier bullet, but also think about this if in some instance you have a shot at a target that is 1500 yards out from you and you are on an angle from above it which would you rather have a round such as a 308 that is going to drop sooner than the 270 round so you have to aim a lot higher than normal and might not have the velocity to impact or a round such as the 270 that loses velocity and drop at a lot farther distance than the 308 and can impact your target, now true it may not do as much damage as the 308 overall but your target will be hit and may run, but definitely for sure is going to bleed and die. Also on a side note I shoot competitively and there were people who thought I couldn't do crap with a 270 in competition against a 308, but I showed them and beat some of them as well. [/QUOTE]
