[QUOTE="358 Guy, post: 1722953, member: 60067"] Just because a cartridge is old doesn't mean it isn't good. I wonder how many of the new crop of wonder cartridges will still be around 90 years from now. The 270 is a very well balanced round in that it combines adequate bullet weight, velocity, energy and tolerable recoil in a rifle that doesn't require a gun bearer to hunt with. While I own, and hunt with many different rifles, my 270 is my go to rifle for most all of my deer sized game hunting. With a 270 I have taken over 100 deer and antelope For many years I used the fine 130 gr. Nosler Partition and IMR 4350 powder. When the lead in my favorite 270 started to erode, and the usually very fine accuracy started to drop, I switched to the 150 gr. I never looked back. I re-barreled the rifle with a 1-9 twist,24" Krieger no. 2 contour barrel.This old Remington 700 never shot so good. I've used everything from a 110 gr. TTSX, to the very fine 160 gr. Nosler Semi-Spitzer. They all shoot acceptably, and some are just fantastic. My go to load today uses REL 23 powder, Norma brass, Federal 210 Match primers, and the 150 gr. Nosler Partition.
