I check in on this thread occasionally just for the novelty and humor factors of seeing " .270" and "perfect hunting round" in the same sentence... You guyz are a hoot!  Yeah and when you're not checking on this thread, you are secretly counting and caressing your .270WCF collection hidden in the back of the closet!  That ain't the only thing he's caressing in the closet

I used to consider myself a rifle looney and have run through a lot of cartridges (17Rem-338WM) looking for the "perfect" deer round. I have to admit that I was more than a little shocked when I ended up with a boring old vanilla 270 Win but that cartridge just flat-out does the deal in a way I can't put into words....

It kicks a little and kills a lot.
That's as good as I can say it.

Yeah and when you're not checking on this thread, you are secretly counting and caressing your .270WCF collection hidden in the back of the closet! Just went out to the truck and plugged it in, kicked the 270(again) for good measure, knocked a little dirty old horse sweat off in the process. I believe it was Rancho who stated that 270's make good truck guns because you don't have to worry about anyone actually stealing one.

That's about as good a quote I've read in a while, well said my friend.

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

From the recent discussions on the .243 and 7mm Rem Mag having pressure swings causing the SAAMI max pressure limits on those two to be down from 65K, the .270 cranks along at 65K without issue. DF While the ol .270 Win is just great for you old guys  , I have yet to hear about this "pressure swing" issue with the .243 Win and 7mm Rem Mag. I understand you old fellas want to just keep killin with the .270 Win but let�s not go overboard in the enthusiasm.

You guys know I love the 270! I'd like to get another one in an 84L, maybe this Spring.
Ingwe, yeah diesel, weatherman said it was gonna get down to single digits which is generally a good plug in temp.
20F this morning though and not complaining!
