[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 1953420, member: 100742"] Well here we are again gentlemen: Lets keep in mind that the .270 Win was born in 1925 , an compared to the range and trajectory of many other hunting rounds that existed back then , it was a huge improvement. Back when you would not take a 250yard to 300 yard shot with a 30-30 or 32 Win Special or 35 Rem, the .270 Win, with a 130 grn bullet , was considered a fast long range deer round, BY COMPARISSON , 3/4 of a century ago. So what is the point, that after thousands of experiments , and by dozens of companies, 80 years later , some one come up with some thing maybe almost as good, or maybe just as good. Gun and Ammo Companies need to drive sales to stay alive , and great marketing drives sales. and if Gun writers didn't rave about the new super duper 6mm ;or 30 cal, we might all just have 3 rifles , in three calibers , and never buy anything new. That's not any fun. So it's flattering to see , that after spending a zillion dollars on research, testing and man hours , and multi company collaboration , some company may say be able "the 6.5mm super duper is the .270 of 2025 " Congratulations on taking a nearly a century to make an improvement, perhaps.
