I still consider the 270WCF to be the gold standard for deer cartridges, I just have no interest in using one. It is really a single purpose chambering, whereas the 6.5mm and 7mm offerings are typically twisted faster and have "sexier" bullets available. This really means nothing to the guy who is going to use said rifle for his deer hunting at reasonable ranges, but the rifle-nut may feel hamstrung by the same choice.
