[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1242898, member: 69478"] I have a .270 Winchester and I am a fan of the cartridge, but there are better out there. If I had to pick between the .308 or .270 for long range hunting, I would take the .270 because I like the cartridge. In reality, the two rounds are both very similar and both can be very capable. A .308 loaded with a 168gr at 2650-2700fps is very similar to the .270 with a 140gr SST at 3000-3050fps. The .270 will be flatter shooting than the .308 and have a little more energy, but it's not a huge difference. Both of those loads will put down deer out 400 yards and beyond. If you already have .308 dies, components, and experience with that round than that is what I would get. [/QUOTE]
