The 270 is great cartridge, why esle would everyone be comparing others to it!!
We seem to hear things like...
25-06 vs 270
7mm mag vs 270
30-06 vs 270
7mm-08 vs 270
280 vs 270
7x57 vs 270
etc...
All the time, so I guess you could say the 270 is the standard by which others are measured.
Negative, Ghostrider!! The .30-06 is
the benchmark against which all other cartridges are compared!!!
In truth, the .270 is a fine cartridge, and as has been stated, it has endured and remained one of the top 5 cartridges used by American hunters because it
does work, and
it works very well! And many of today's younger shooters probably never even heard of or read O'Connor.
But one thing is certain: .270 fans are both defensive and aggressive in defense of their favorite.
