[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 1014956, member: 15229"] That's my thought too, glad to get a refresher, 300 WSM for me. I have so many rifle calibers, I just don't buy the 270 at all these days. I think it got it's jump years ago when a famous hunter used it quite a bit (Jack XXXX?). There are virtually No bullets with high BC for it. I'd guess there are 90% more in 30 cal. The selection is enormous, after the miltary went to 308. 30-06, 308, 300 win mag 300 savage, etc. all the variant and bc selection's from 100 grain to 240 I believe? If you don't have a 30 cal barrel lying around, good time to put one away. I read the 270 stuff years ago and was intrigued but I doubt it is even close to a 6.5x284 or even a 260 rem? If you want less kick and lower bullet weight and you are just hunting, maybe a 6.5x55. Let's face it, all will take the animal down. The government adopted, 30-06, 308, 5.56 and now 338. It seems those calibers will always have the kind of volume to keep the bullet makers happy. Devolpement of bullets always ends up a numbers game. I wouldn't sell a 270 or 270wsm. But when and if it comes time to re-barrel, it wouldn't be my first choice. I guess I'm gonna concentrate on a 300 WSM for now. No offense intended... [/QUOTE]
