[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1378576, member: 75779"] I own and shoot a good number of rifles including the 270s. Some of the other cartridges in my safe are 257 bee 308 243 35 rem 30.06 45 raptor 300wm 223 In my previous post, I said there is no hate toward the cartridge from me. I think of guns like tools. Use the right tool for the job. Deer, antelope, and coyotes don't take much. Elk, moose, and bear are a bit different. All can be killed with solid shot placement/bullet construction. Next consider shot distance. 300 yards or less? 500 yards and more? All this is too say there are many variables. What gets me is people thinking their one cartridge (usually the 6.5 crowd) is vastly superior to anything else. Then the bc tables come out and name calling starts. I think they're each cool for different reasons. As for eye openers, if you want to see a real difference, we'll shoot steel at 500 +. You can ring it and I'll ring it and swing it. The 270 wsm has nothing on my 300wm with a 215 berger. Broz has proven that. If you want to see a very under appreciated round, check out the 257 weatherby. [/QUOTE]
