A. It's interesting to revisit as there are better bullets and powders for both these days.
B.It's also a matter of what the rifle package looks like. For example, ( ?if? ) the 270 win has a 24" barrel and weighs 8.5 pounds
C. and the 6.5x55 has a 22" barrel and weighs 7 pounds; the 6.5 might be handier and lighter
A. WHY dredge up from 2012? New products improve BOTH cartridges and does NOT reverse the outcome.
B. WHY should a 270 weigh 8.5 lbs??
C. My Swede (Win 70 FTWT) weighs MORE than my 270 -Tikka T 3
You can STACK the deck anyway you want to prove anything you want.
I've already chewed my CUD, I still have a Swede but I'll
ALWAYS have a 270.
130--3100/3200 fps>>Swede can NOT touch.
IF my Swede was NOT a 70 FTWT--it would have LEFT 2 yrs ago. It does NOTHING better than a 270....
