As a big fan of the .308, the .270 does have a point or two. When comparing the trajectory of the standard 130 gr. .270 vs. the 150 gr. .308, the point blank ranges are pretty close, but it does favor the .270. The .270 drifts significantly less in a cross wind. The .308 fits a short action vs. a long action for the .270. Recoil slightly favors the .308. But the big, practical advantage to the .308 is the availibility of cheap surplus ammo for practice. On top of all else, the shooter, and his abilitys, makes much more difference than small ballistic differences. Good shooters practice. The cheaper, and easier, it is to do this; the more one shall do so. E
