Wizard, as a user of both calibers, my experience is that with steppy 130 gn reloads (3100+ FPS)in the 270 it shoots noticably flatter than the 308 with 150s particularly noticable on making hits on medium sized game out at the 300 - 350 yard mark in open country. WHILE ON PAPER IT MAY NOT APPEAR MUCH IT FEELS MUCH BETTER TO ME! I have also found it hard to get 150 gn loads in the 308 to 2850 fps in a 22 " barell. I like the 308 for the brush where you want a hole and blood trail and the 270 for the open country.<P>cheers<BR>WT
