Alot has to do were you live.The 30-06 is to B.C what the 270 is to the south of the border.The town I live in is 30-06 country.It out numbers most rounds by a good margin.And for good reason.Besides it's really the only one truly worthy of a cult status.

HC-its because of the rifle not the round right?
Point being, certain rifles that I really perk with within reason I really don't care which round it is chambered for.
Make sense?
Thx
Dober really its the whole package, the gun hadles very well, the cartrige has never let me down. I can shoot middle of the road bullets since they were all developed for it's velocity window, ammo is never far away. it does not eat scopes. it shoots as flat as anything avilable.....a few years ago. really don't have a damn bad thing to say about it my favorite 270 is in a ti gun and I usually carry it like a pistol....stole a few deer from the boys since it is so fast handling.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I never saw a use for the 270win,so I don't own one.I prefer the 25-06 on deer sized game,and the 7mmremmag on larger game.

I have had 12-15 .270s, love it with 150 NPs over RE-22 and have only my pair of P-64 Fwts.left as I just sold my Husqy 4100 to a friend. If, there is a "perfect pair" for BC hunting, it's the .270-.338 Win. in good crf rifles using 150 and 250 NPs over RE-22, I could be happy with this combo forever. (well, I DO need my .280 and my........)

I actually wish I had started using the 270 earlier.

I've never owned a .270 and may never own one. But I always recommend the .270 Win.,especially if the rifle is to be primarily used for deer. When I worked at a shooting range the .270's were the most reliably accurate rifles larger than .22 centerfire. Also, .270 shooters seemed to be among the most level headed and practical of riflemen.

Dober, The other "Cult" post of yours is well thought out and well written. I agree whole heartedly..FWTW.
Steelhead, great plagiarism of same...also well written, and funny as hell if you had read Marks post first. BUT, we're on to you, ya aint foolin no one... You didn't get "bored", you just had a beer run to make.
Jeff, '06! Shame on you! That's why you have to live in Eugene! Buy a .270 and run for the border!!!
I bought my .270 in '69. I wanted a Model 70 like Jack's, but they weren't making them anymore...the new improved M70 fit like poop so I ended up with a 700. No regrets.
It's still killing game today and will be the last rifle to leave my possesion.
OOPS, outa beer. Gotta run. BT

Definitely a member of the .270 cult. In my mind it's simply the best medium game round going. Also, one of the most accurate and easiest to reload rounds going.

After I bought my 270WSM I sold everything else.
The only thing wrong with the 270....Its not a 25-06.

DJ Where I hunt elk and moose, the chance of running into a grizzly is always present,especially when dressing an animal.I would rather have a 7mm magnum or better yet,an even larger cartridge in the event that I need to defend myself against a grizzly.
