I'm being as honest as I can be. I could NOT decide between the 270 W & 300 W......unless I absolutely HAD to.
There is no more than 4 ozs between them. Both shoot better than needed.
Now the Winlite 300 has stolen my heart.
Here is a little evidence why the Winlite 300 is one of my favs. I bought the gun on Fri 11-07-08. That was in the afternoon before our Opening Day of deer season. On Monday 11-10-08 I shot it for the first time with Fed Blue Box 180 Speer Hot Cor bullets. After bore sighting and making sure it was on paper at 100 yds. I got this FIRST group. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l591/kleingunther/Elk%20%20%20HUNTING/Favorite%20Guns/photo-2-3.jpg) The first shot was on paper but hi rt. adjusted scope and shot next 3. Measured .840 outside-outside OR .631 c-c the 'best I could measure'. I killed several deer in 08 & 09, including the biggest bodied buck I've ever killed. However I was dissatisfied with the bullet performance. So I got some 180 HSP, pulled & swapped the bullets. The following is the FIRST group with the Hornadys. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l591/kleingunther/Elk%20%20%20HUNTING/Favorite%20Guns/photo-3-2.jpg) This group measured .917 O-O and .690 C-C, again the 'best I could measure'. There are 5 shots touching, the 6th shot, low left was me. I called it before I looked at it. The HSPs performed much better on game IMO. Ergo - for me anyway, it's HARD not to love accuracy in a LIGHT rifle.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I have never owned or fired a 270. But that is about to change. I have a savage 110 270 and am going to shoot it this month. I promise.

What is the 270 Winchester perfect for? Is there a type of big game that it's best suited to? We've talked about the merits of the .270 Win but what would you be most likely to use a .270 Win for? Coyotes. It'll suffice as an antelope gun if you keep ranges reasonable and only shoot does.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Just when I think Zero has reached a pinnacle in stupid, he tops the last attempt.
