The .270 will outperform the .260. The 6.5-284 would be more of a match for the .270. My buddy and I hunt pronghorns every year, he with a .270 Sendaro, me with a med. wt. custom 6.5-284. Not that much difference, although my 6.5-284 will shoot slightly tighter groups. Out hunting, a slight benchrest advantage isn't an advantage at all. Both rifles are sub MOA.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I like the .260 for the long range performance it brings to short actions, and for no reason of consequence, I prefer short actions. Extremely high BC bullets are available that can be pushed to a reasonable velocity. It hits hard, and recoil is very mild.
Having had a few .270s though, it's kinda hard to go wrong with one. Up to 500 yards or so, it's everything a .260 is and more, and factory ammo is never a problem.
If you have no preference over long or short action, and you have no ideas of shooting waayy out there, the .270 makes more sense. If you want to stretch the range a bit, then a 6.5-06 or .280 would be a better choice than a .270 simply because of the high B.C. bullets available for it.

The .300 Salvage and .303 Brit both have a cool factor the .270 doesn't.....
And I know the .260 guys will wince at this...but the 6.5 Creedmoor sings a siren's song.......

The .300 Salvage admittedly has some cool points.... but just how in the hell is the. 303 Limey Kraut Whacker cooler than the all American. 270, born of Americas most famous cartridge? First chambered in the predecessor of the Riflemans Rifle? ( you've got me on my soap box now )
