One son inherited a 270, the other will need a good rifle as well. Since neither handloading not expect to do so, not likely prairie dogs or bears will be on the menu, nor bison though I know many have fallen to lesser than 06's.
Main game likely for them during theirs lives will be deer, hogs, and occasional elk. Factory ammo is about a given when I'm not around.
Seems John Wooters (or another old time writer in the 70-80s) wrote a good piece long ago on 270 loads and the 100-110s were fast n flat. I loaded some in the past. Recoil not much lower as I had them redlining. Sure made a mess of things hit
When I load for the one, it's been 150 PT, BT or 140 AB/BTs.
My experience - 150 BT deadly on WT and PT equally - end to end on a Colorado Mulie at 275 yds. 130s never grouped as tight IME as 150s in the few rifles I worked with, though I did a double on two crows once, 100 Rem PSP bulk bullet - about 300 yds w a former 1B w 6x. Got lucky
