A superior cartridge to a .270................... Mister Tom, that kinda remains to be seen. If reports are true and the 260 is on the decline and fades to oblivion, then history will refute you. I'm not saying it's not a good cartridge, mind you, cuz I think it is, and I would sorely hate to see it disappear, but the 270 is legendary, and the 260 is still a young sprout that has yet to stand the test of time. It's just a dang shame it's so hard to find a 260 in a lefty.

JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Everybody knows the 270 is just the ladies' version of the real mac daddy, the .30-06!  (I'm suitin' up in the Nomex!!!)

Ebay and Amazon are your friend. They do have a copy of the Call of the Wild and White Fang for $5 though...

http://www.jbmballistics.com/.264 130gr Scirocco@ 2950fps vs. .277 140gr AccuBond@ 3000fps. A guy might be suprised at these comparisons....

The 260 is a good round and has good ballistics. The 270 could benefit from some of the match type hunting bullets getting thrown its way.

In all fairness, Berger makes .277 VLD's in 140gr and 150gr.
I guess what impresses me the most with the short cartridges is what you get ballistically with 40 to 45 grs of powder.
BTW, I own and have hunted with various .270's since I was young and have no intensions of ever getting rid of them. It's a fine cartridge and will probably be around longer than any of us...

For me, the 260 was associated with Jim Carmichael...never could warm up to his writing, plus he dressed like a drugstore cowboy.

Really????
Did you check Scenars #'s
I did.
You'd be suprised.
Just for an example...
At 500 yds =
The 6.5 drops 43.74 inches with 1427 lbs energy.
the .270 drops 43.8 inches with 1457 lbs energy.
Equal.........with less powder.
Not really sucking hind tit now is it?

+1. The .270WCF beats the .260 in any head to head comparison you can think of. It even beats the 7x57... but that is not germane to this debate.
