As to everyone getting weak in the knees over "efficiency" , I always looked back over my shoulder at the "efficiency" mavens and their creations. The flaw was always the more "efficient" I got, the slower I was going,expressed as percentages, like this unto itself was some kind of virtue that I didn't give a hang about in a hunting cartridge.

Followed to its illogical conclusions, "efficiency" saved me powder, which I didn't give a hang about, but cost me velocity,and I cared about that (within reason). Give me the case with the powder capacity to deliver the velocity.

The recoil of a 270 Winchester is trifling. It wasn't designed by some "committee" to be a military round; it was designed to kill animals.

It has wiped the floor with its competitors here and elsewhere....even in Africa.How'd that happen? confused


Yep - FACTS stevil !

I really am sick of the 6.5 SPIN.. might get RID of mine.

I've had more 270s than any other cartridge and ALL fed & extracted like butter. Try one in a Tikka T 3. !!!
