[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2224584, member: 115658"] I take it that you have a M700 with a .473 bolt face. I know some hunters that use the .270W for hunting all sorts of game all over the planet and they are very pleased with their .270W's. On the other hand the 6.5-06 uses a great selection of pointy long range bullets - like hi BC's. The .280 & .280AI have a longer datum length so rounds won't be jammed into .270W rifles and this sort of limits cheap brass & availability. I need to fire form .270W to make .280R and this uses up primers, .280 brass is difficult to find. More heavy weight 7mm bullets, like 160's & up. Both 6.5-06 & .270W are easy to load for but if hunting in some far off land and the need to acquire ammo happens the .270W will prevail. Lots of .270W brass for the .270W and .270W, .25-06, & .30-06 brass for the 6.5-06. I'm not much of a fan for rebated cartridge rounds like the 6.5-.284 and I think the short powder column business is sort of hyped up for hunting rounds. Some rebated cartridge rounds don't feed slick & easy in certain rifles. For practical use, shooting game animals, there would be zippo difference between the .270W & 6.5-06. [/QUOTE]
