[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1717175, member: 109862"] Of course it would be smarter than selling the ammo! My first rifle (not the first I’d hunted with but the first one to be my own) was a 270 and is still my go to rifle. A cheap savage package gun (111). Cheap ugly rifle, boring old news cartridge, boringly predictable results :). I agree personally about it replacing the 6.5 creed and the .30-06 but that’s only because my two most used rifles are in .270 and .300 win mag. Some say the .270 isn’t suitable for long range, and there’s some good reason for saying that...but I’d add to it that I don’t believe there’s any hunting application where the .270 would be inadequate but the 6.5 creed would be suitable in its place. Yeah it uses somewhat higher bc bullets, not as different as some might have you think tho, but starts out way, way behind in the energy department, and by the time it’s caught up to, let alone exceeded, the .270, both rounds are really not the best choice for big game hunting compared to the big 7mms and .30 cals.
