Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Does the 6.5-06 offer any advantage over a .270 Winchester?

So you fly to bumphuck, nowhere to hunt the rare jiagaloo and the airline loses your ammo.......

Within realistic ability based hunting ranges (400 yards or <) the 270 will do just fine.

The 264 WinMag has factory ammo and, if you wish, can be loaded down to 6.5-06 performance.

Wildcats are fun, I have a 22-06 by R.F. Sedgley, 70 gr TSX at 3600, (the one on the bottom , top is a 6.5x55 same maker), but I'd be concerned to take it anywhere where I didn't have control of the ammo.
