[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1717623, member: 69192"] A few years ago I purchased a Ruger 77 in .270 Winchester as a donor rifle for a new built. Essentially I stole the rifle off of Gun Broker for $300 and it had a 3.5-10 Leupold scope on it. Once I fired the rifle I liked what I was shooting for accuracy and for felt recoil. When I read the ballistics charts on the new "designer" cartridges that are being advertised/promoted, I always will go back and compare them to the .270 Winchester. And.....for the most part there really isn't enough difference, for me, to get that excited about them. Next time that a manufacturer comes out touting the latest 6000 yard, anti-tank cartridge, [U][I]that with the right bullet[/I][/U] and [U][I]"with the right shot placement[/I][/U] will drop a bull moose with a 90 grain bullet at 600 yards", compare that touted round to the ballistics of the .270 Winchester!! In my opinion for the average hunter who is taking game in the mule deer, white tail deer range the .270 is a tough cartridge to beat and has been around since the 1920s. And I believe that the best all around .270 round is the .270 WSM. I recently built a Ruger 77 in .270 Ackley Improved with a 26 inch, 1-10 Lilja barrel and find it to be a laser round out to 300 yards with 150gr bullets; and.....I suspect that I'll get some flack with this posting on the .270 Winchester.
