550 yard kill with the same bullet ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/su35/deer%20hunt%2006/album%201/P9160060.jpg) This is a smokin' buck and should be imbedded in the brains of every person who loves big mule deer.....no doubt there are bigger one's but this buck kas everything a guy should be looking for... Everytime I see this pic,my nostrils flare and I tear phone books in two....I also bay at the moon and wanna kill something  On the subject at hand,when it comes to the 270 Winchester, I read no ballistic tables, will not listen to logic,and refuse to be swayed by rational argument.......  I block my ears to balistic gack and computer printouts....I cannot help myself....  Because it is magic....

I've shot a bunch of deer with the 270 at various ranges and a bunch more and some coyotes with a 6.5x55 (ballistic twin of the 260). With bullets of roughly the same SD I found the 270 ~ 150-200 fps faster. I never could notice a difference on game in the field except the 6.5 is a just a little gentler and, really, a pleasure to hunt with. I guess I'd sum up with the previous writer who said if factory is your gig go 270; if hand loading, I'd consider favorable nuances of the particular rifle. If no difference, you can't go wrong with either. Glad I could help.

If you want performance like a 270 in a short action, why not go with a cartridge with case capacity closer to the 270, something like the 6.5-284, 284, 270 WSM, 7mm SAUM, or 7mm WSM?

never owned one of the 260's but they seem to have become quite popular and am curious. I am debating between two rifles that caught my eye and practicality ( and a few boxes of ammo on hand )keeps telling me .270....doesnt really matter as i have the "calibers surrounded" as far as hunting goes...give me your two cents worth for fun ! ................As long as you do your part on whatever game you`re going to hunt with either, it won`t make all that much of a difference. Rifle platform, rifle platform and the rifle platform of your preference should be your priority. Short action? Long action? Bolt throw length? Rifle weight? Type of hunting? A hiking rifle? A stand rifle? Both? Plus all the rest of it. Some within the longer action crowd, give the 308 based cartridges a very un-deserved bad rap.  RIGHT SWAMPY?
