Why no 270-08 ?

[QUOTE="winmag, post: 835308, member: 22166"] Well, you are right. The 6.5 has higher BC & SD for same wt bullets than the 270. (130, & 140gr) And to Mudrunner The 270 has higher BC & SD for same wt bullets than the 7mm (140gr) Accubond vs Accubond Partition vs Partition (I'm a Nosler fan) But again, BC means very little at 300 & less. SD is what counts here. Also remember I'm looking at 130-140gr for light recoil, at reasonable velocity. That rules out all but the 140 in the 7-08. Heck if I wanted to launch heavies, at dog turd velocity, I could launch 270 cal 160gr Partitions. But come on, MV would be minimal, & 1800fps min for expansion that's a looser combo for recoil, & case capacity. Yes, I love my 270WSM, & I load for 3 of them. I love all my WSM's, & LR rifles, but this is not for LR. It's a build with my wife & daughter in mind. Light weight, Light Recoil, but still capable of taking Elk at 300yds. I am aware of the 260 Rem, & many other .264/6.5 cartriges already out there. The 260 Rem is the closest thing to the 270-08 that I can find for launching 130's, & the 7-08 is very very close with 140's. However, I stated in my first post that I am fully aware of the ballistic advantages of the 6.5's & 7mm's with heavy for caliber bullets. But again, this is not a build for LR, & I just have no interest in them. Not a metric fan I guess :D Call it a 264, or a 284 & it sounds better, but call it a 270, & it sounds just about right:D One develops a certain fondness for certain calibers, & a grudge against others, based on personal experiences, & memories. Thus, my love of all things 270. It's not all about the numbers all the time. But with the intended purpose, & bullet weights to suit the intended purpose, I like 270. [/QUOTE]
