[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1665012, member: 9308"] Hey Calvin45, I agree with you. The .270 Win is a classic and fine hunting cartridge. It just excels for hunting lower 48 and Hawaiian game. It would have made a great 'target' cartridge, too, if anyone had been so inclined, but as you said, being 'bracketed' by the 7mm and 6.5mm guns, no one really felt the need to take the .270 Win down the 'target' rifle road. And that's fine. I've yet to have a .270 Win that wouldn't shoot sub-MOA (knock on wood.) I'm probably just lucky in that experience, but the round is capable of very fine accuracy. There will always be haters, and they can shoot what makes them feel special. It's all good. I just got a Rem 700 in .270 with a 1 in 9 twist. I'm going to load up some 160gr Partitions and see how the gun likes those. Figured it would be a good elk/moose load if it shoots well. Post up if Nosler responds to your RDF bullet request in .277; that would be interesting. [/QUOTE]
