[QUOTE="Goldengun, post: 2109982, member: 109636"] The 270win with heavies reminds me of the 6.5CM/260 with 140's with similar BC's and velocities, but you now have extra penetrating weight. To me it just comes down to what you want to do with a given cartridge. If your happy with your old 270 or 270WSM but want the extra punch, just re-barrel with a faster twist. Or if you got the coin and want another rifle just buy/build a new one in the new cartridge. I'm thinking of doing a little of both with my 300WSM, a new 270WSM barrel with a fast twist. Or maybe not. I've said this before, with bullets from 110 up to 175, the 270's are a pretty good option for a great all-around cartridge. [/QUOTE]
