[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1761133, member: 93895"] The 270 lost all of it's coolness practically over night. For the most part, I try to be unbiased in my opinion of different cartridges. I admit I ampartial to the 7mm rem mag & 7mm cartridges. Formerly the 270 win was viewed just as the 6.5 creedmoor is now viewed today. The 270 win was viewed as better than the 30-06, 7mm rem mag & 280 Remington. I've got a stack of old hunting magazines to prove how hyped the cartridge was. Im not saying it's not a good cartridge but people were emotionally tied to it because they did shoot good in factory rifles with factory ammo alot of times. I had a good shooting 270 myself. It was touted as inherrently accurate by gun magazine writers, so? Is it not inherently accurate anymore since we have creedmoors? Did it quit being inherrently accurate when the creedmoor came out? I have a creedmoor that I built and I really like it. The 270 now seems like a Joke, Grandpappys rifle. 6.5 creedmoor is a nice round but it's just seeing the same treatment now as the 270 win has for many generations.
