Affect and History are the only two legs the .270 has to stand on.... neither mean a lick to me......
If you killed your biggest buck with a .30WCF..... would you defend it as staunchly?
You also have to remember where I live, and that we all ain't Easter Block hunters. Where I'm at shots will also be accompanied by vast prairie winds..... it all adds up, I SEE it all the time.
Guys go all ape crazy and spend all kinds of dough wildcatting cartridges to get an additional 3-8% more velocity.... when you can walk in a pharmacy and buy 20-30% less drift.... at least you can as long as you don't shoot a .270 or a .25.
The .270 is what it is...... and it will always be, an excellent <300 yard big game round. Let it do that..... and you'll be fine.... try and turn it into a LR machine, and it will always suck hind tit to the 7s.
