A man has to read Lonesome Dove too!
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

You were just hoping for one of the native woman boon shots...... dirtbag....  I haven't read Lonesome Dove.... Teddy Roosevelt and Sun Tai are on the table currently.

I'd never grab a 260 if there was a 270 in the rack...  and as a handloader, My 270s get dusty and the 260s see field use...not knocking the 270, but it is usually more cartridge than I really need... to my way of thinking, in most hunting situation that shots are going to be under 250 yds... I think even a 270/08 would be more practical than a 270 Win...however since it isn't a factory round that is a mute point... and when someone's reason boils down to available ammo... I have to laugh...I don't see why any serious shooter isn't handloading... if my shooting time and desires, plus my wallet had to be slave to whatever the stores and the factory decided to put on the shelf, I'd just take up golf.... so we have all these choices available... but I'll reach for a 260 anytime if the animal is smaller than an elk.. and even the bullets that are available in 6.5 bore... they easily handle Elk also... but in my world anymore the only thing I need from the factory is an action...and components from those factories that make the brass, primers powder and bullets...

.260........or .270. Both will do about the same thing.
If you like to handload and tinker then take a closer look at the .260 and 130gr Swift Scirocco. With a .571 BC at 2950fps it will do some really nice things. If you're a factory ammo guy, then go with the .270. You can find ammo just about anywhere, including loose rounds rolling around the jockey boxes of damn near every ranch pickup out west.

Pat, you are talking practical common sense about a choice between two calibers....I think that ship has sailed on this thread....

Sounds like me...I was the only five year old with a subscription to National Geographic... We know why you had that subscription, same reason the rest of us kids did. To see the boobies.

podunkkennels, A few more for your list, "Centennial", by James A. Michener "Grizzly Years", by Doug Peacock "Desert Solitaire", by Ed Abbey and you only get cool points if that 300 Savage is in a Model 99

Well, when you're 9 you take what you can get. Pretty much the same as now.

"Grizzly Years", by Doug Peacock
Sounds like a good one, who wrote the story about two cowboys that ran into a grizzly den with several grizzlies?

Okay, bro podunk, since I see that's how you roll, how about James Fenimore Cooper? You ever read him? I read all of the Leatherstocking Tales and loved them.
