[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2323278, member: 61747"] I have 6.5 PRC's and creeds. For deer I'd use a creed but you are looking at a new rifle because you want one. In that case, the old school 270 is a fun rifle to have in the safe due to nostalgia. Twist of the 270 will be an issue potentially if you are chasing high bc bullets but is that a need for sub 600? Meh. High BC bullets is mainly for retaining down range velocity and fighting wind affect. Neither are a huge factor at 600, but do matter some. I vote 270 since it's old school and out of date but still a good performer. There is nothing magical about any of these. It boils down to terminal performance. A 140 grain bullet at 2900 fps is still a 140 grain bullet at 2900 no matter the caliber size. The difference will be in sectional density, design, and then how much velocity that bullet retains at x distance. [/QUOTE]
