Why no 270-08 ?

[QUOTE="liltank, post: 1226643, member: 13275"] So out of curiosity, I did some digging to try and find some bullet comparison. Using Hornady SST which most people would use for hunting (maybe a soft point...work with me here). So using a 140gr bullet, it really isn't a slouch. The 08 cartridge is quite comfortable at 130 to 140 grain bullets. That is the sweet spot bullet for the 270 (unless your my brother who enjoys dropping deer with the tried and true 150 round nose). I'm thinking if you are a tinkerer like myself that suffers from tinkeritus, then a 270-08 would be a very good short action deer killer. It would fit the action better with 140 than the .264 with a 140 and still be able to touch the lands. Just my 2 pennies!lightbulb [/QUOTE]
