Have both, love both.

The 270 Win is a classic. Great for open country or the thick stuff.

The 270 Wby makes an absolutely wicked killer out of 150gr bullets. The penetration it provides is extremely impressive.

I don’t really notice a difference recoil-wise, and I can shoot the 270 Roy comfortably from a bench for as long as necessary. It just takes a rather substantial withdrawal from the bank account to do so.

With about 15 heads down, I’ve never recovered a bullet shot from the Bee, including one 150 gr NP that entered an almost straight on bull elk of around 700-800 pounds right at the point of the forward left shoulder and exited the right ham. The shot was at 175 yards.

Like I said.....wicked.

I’d take the Weatherby on any expensive hunt or for trophy bulls but would be just as happy with the 270 Win for anything else.


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
