[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1717681, member: 54178"] "Back in the day" Outdoor Life writer Jack O'Connor felt the 270 Ein. was there-all for hunting everything up to dangerous game. Now with the advent of the 6.5 cartridges like 6.5 CM, 6.5/284 and 6.5 PRC among others the 270 Win. just can't keep up in terms of handling longer/heavier 6.5 mm bullets. I'd say the 6.5 Swede was actually a better choice in the '50s to now IF loaded to modern velocities. So given that I now have a .5 CM Ruger competition rifle and a 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt hunting rifle. (And I just sold my .300 Win mag Browning A-Bolt B/C the 6.5 PRC does it all here in Nevada - even bull elk [I]within[/I] 300 yards. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
