[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1717295, member: 69478"] I had a .270 for over 10 years and it was my first deer rifle. It was a great hunting cartridge, but I don’t consider a great long range cartridge. Even with 140-150gr Berger’s at 3000fps, it’s not much gain over a 6.5 Creedmoor with 140-147s at 2800fps. The Creedmoor will burn 10gr less powder and have less recoil. I have since rebarreled my .270 to .284 Winchester with a long throat and push 175s at 2850fps with 2gr less powder than my old load of 140s at 2950 with 56gr of powder. [/QUOTE]
