As a "Hunting" cartridge the 270 wins, by a narrow margin.
It is a lot better than 270 for target shooting, and close enough to 270 as a hunting cartridge.
I’m a gun enthusiast 1st. A hunter 2nd. A shooter 3 rd. I’ve been fascinated with rifles since I was a kid. I began hunting at an early age, don’t remember xactly. I began deer hunting before I had to have a license.
** I do a lot of shooting to be a successful hunter. **
IMO, the slower Creedmoor is fine IF you have time to: Read LRF Read Drop Chart Twist turrets Carefully aim Squeeze trigger.
“Close enuff doesn’t impress me”. I have a perfectly good M 70 FTWT in the Swede. If I didn’t love the Rifle, it would be gone.
On another level, I’ve said this before :
“If you have a 270, you have a 280; If you have a 280, you have a 270 “
