16 I have not loaded a 150-270 bullet since the 70's (well maybe a few sometime in the 80's). I just ran a 130 all these years. Nothing wrong with a Swift Aframe....I have never used them but have a stash here for when all my 130 Bitterroots are gone. Purely anecdotal but RinB on here has used the 130 Swift Aframe in Africa and tells me it stones zebra and similar sized stuff. IME the 130 Swift Aframe is an accurate bullet,although the BC numbers won't impress anyone.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

After shooting another 6pt Bull Elk this year, I am convinced now, more than ever that the 270 win. simply works and is about to become a true classic of a cartridge for all NA big game.

What is your definition of a classic? The magnificent .270 has been around since 1925. I'd say that makes it a classic since at least 1975.

It is definitely poised to be a classic.

Yeah it's been doing that stuff for a very long time. And among bolt action chamberings for big game hunting,it's likely the most popular and successful non-military, commercial cartridge ever. That would simply not have happened if it did not work really well.

Hell, I've only been around since the 50's and I've been called a classic. Not sure it was a compliment.

Been a lot of game killed with the 'Bath House Special'.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

I have a feeling the 270 juju will go out the window when I start messing with the 270WSM.
Funny to see this thread, that WSM lasted about 15 minutes.....

I remember reading Sports Afield Magazine in the late 1950's and John Jobson writing about the .270 in one of his articles. His writings piqued my interest in rifles. If my memory is correct he was an advocate for the 130 grain.
Best game for it? About anything you get to hunt in this nation.

The .270 works on damn near everything, but If I had to pick the game it is most ideally suited for, I'd have to say mule deer and big bodied whitetail.

Think it's good for most big game found in NA.
