Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters .270 Winchester: What is the best big game for this cartridge?

One of my first rifles was a 264 Win. One criticism I heard was, "Yek, that isn't much better than a 270!"

I loved to shoot jack rabbits with that rifle, it was also great on crows. I sold it to a friend who used it on prairie dogs.

I suppose it wasn't much better than a 270 after all😄

My pre-war M70 .270 was one of three that cousin bought from an old family friend about 1960-61 when friend "hung up" his guns. The other two were a .30 Govt 06 and a .264 Westerner. We gutted a few coyotes, jack rabbits, and prairie dogs with the ..264. It did a good job on them! Almost as good as a .270.

Best,

Jack

I never paid the slightest attention to what Don Lewis wrote. Above is a perfect example of "why"...
