....to buy or build a 270 Winchester.
I'm thinking 85 X's at 3500 would be fun, as would the 150 LRAB. Lots of other bullets in the mix peak my interest -- the 100 and 110 Accubonds with those thick jackets might not be bad either. The typical 130's and 150's do their job. The 270 components are everywhere. I'm stocked with appropriate powders as well.
Not that my 260, 6.5 Creedmoor or 7-08 can't get the job done....and I know there is no real world advantage the 270 offers over my 308 or 243 for the animals I hunt.
I started out with a 270 and evolved. Maybe I've come full circle?
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I'm not even drunk or on medication!
Lots of other cartridges are compared to the 270 for arguments sake. Why not mess with the one that started the party?

He's just remembering that 550 yd. shot on a whitetail at the farm in Beech Grove he made in 1988 with a 270. Or he's just stirring the pot...........(grin)
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

No pot stirring....I'm serious.
I think about the shot every time I drive past that farm.

To stir the pot more (not that you need it bud..grin), I load for my bud's .270 with 140 grain Berger's and found a killer load that he dialed and smoked a javelina at 678 yards earlier this spring.
I'd just do a 6.5-06 and come out ahead - grin...

Nothing wrong with the 270. They are a bit boring like an 06. I have 3 and rarely use them anymore.

I'd only use the 270 on deer in velvet though. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/deerrr/Meandbuck.jpg)

Faux Ti / M8 or 24"/McClassic/SWFA would do it. Just jumped on the SWFA wagon and its a pretty fun ride so far...
