To me, the M2 ball round, 150 gr. at 2800 fps, is the perfect field performance cartridge.

Shoot lots of it from the M1 rifle.

For hunting, if one takes that performance, and adds to it the sectional density and ballistic coefficient of a 180 gr. .30 cal bullet?

You get the .270 WCF.


Don't think there's anything in N/A that a 168 gr. TSX at 2800 fps .30-06 won't take nicely.
