[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2807756, member: 109862"] Long live the king. That’s how I feel about the .270 haha. It just works. Far more interesting to me than the .30-06 and just as emphatic a killer. If the 270 isn’t enough gun for something neither is the .30-06…THERE I SAID IT 🤣 When both are loaded To potential the 270 even with its 10 twist STOMPS the 6.5 creedmoor, and by the time those high bc 6.5 pills catch up let alone exceed the power of the 270 it’s at a range where neither cartridge is a good choice for big game. It’s embarrassing for the 7 rem mag how close the boring old .270 gets to it from a shorter barrel. Anything the .25-06 does the 270 does better (THERE I SAID IT! 🤣 - both are totally ridiculous for dedicated varmint or predator rounds and in my mind the .25-06 is forever the .25-almost Almost as in close to the .257 wby but not there yet haha. I know the same Is true about the 270 win and 270 wby but for some reason I don’t care and that’s mine to confess, I’m irrational! I’m biased. It was my first rifle that was truly mine. And it performs so darn good. I often say it’s a cartridge that doesn’t know it’s not a magnum. [/QUOTE]
