I have read so many different accounts on how the 270 Winchester came into being, that it gets all very muddled. Till I pared down my collection some years back, I had 6 rifles so chambered- I had also planed on selling a 7mm RM barrel that came on an R-93 I bought but it shot so well I just kept it! The bottom line is that the 270 is one of the best things ever to come out of Winchester period! And in 2015 its a way better cartridge that it was when introduced in 1925 or when JOC started writing about it in the late 1930's and in the post WW-II years. Its a good balanced flat shooting cartridge that will handle most of the world big game with out a hitch, the only requirement is being able to shoot. There is so much over lap between .257 cal to .338 cal that it really makes no real difference on what the bullet launcher is, stick a good bullet in the right spot and make sure you have a sharp knife!
