[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 973703"] I don't own a 6.5x55 and the .270 has not been delivered, I have shot both in various rifles, I have: 260 Remington 270 Weatherby Many more for hunting, target and TAC so IHEO, while the 'performance' range is similar but they are not the same. Choosing one over the other in a space limited gun safe would depend on use. If it's pure hunting the 270 will do it. If you are mixing hunting and target, TAC or ringing steel at long ranges, I believe the 6.5x55 hold up better at long range simply because the twist rate and bullet was originally intended for long range. Of course if it were me, I'd get both... [/QUOTE]
