I think an awful lot of the .270's popularity had to do with JOC and a zippy 130gr loading.
Maybe, but those 130 grain bullets were mostly Noslers & that fact had as much to do with the success of the 270 as did the caliber or JOC's writing...............I kinda doubt he would have gotten as much performance out of cheaper C&C bullets of the day.

Not true. Jack O' began using the .270 in 1925 and he mostly used Winchester Positive Expanding Points and Remington Bronze Points and he says they were excellent.
I have several of Jack's books and grew up reading his articles in Outdoor life and I remember him being quite fond of the 130 gr. Winchester Silvertip. I'm pretty sure the positive expanding points were never made/loaded for anything but the .25-06.
