Well Mr. Gandhi or anyone else for that matter is welcome to offer a facts-based defense of the .270. They can try to explain how great low sectional density, excessive taper and steep shoulder cases are in a hunting round. But if what they're selling is nostalgia rather than physics, I'm not buying. And when it gets down to facts, the .270 pretty much sucks. About the only good thing you can say about it is that the SAAMI max pressure is high.
What is this low sectional density to which you keep referring?
The sectional density of a 6.5mm 140 grain bullet equals that of a 154 grain bullet (close enough to 150- grain not to matter) in a .270 or a 190 grain bullet in a .308 diameter.
As for "excessive" taper and "steep" shoulder angle, those make it more likely to feed properly, which is why the US military chose those angles for the 30-06 cartridge.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
