Same here. I owned all three at the same time and greatly preferred the .270 Wby.

It’s as easy to shoot as the .270 Win and easily equals the .300 Roy when it comes to killing things quickly and spectacularly. I’d even go out on a limb here and say (with only anecdotal evidence to back this up) that my .270 Wby “out killed” my .300 Wby in my hands.

Of course, it’s because the .270 Wby is easier to shoot from all positions than the .300, but there has never been a time when the firing pin dropped on my .270 Bee when the bullet didn’t hit exactly where I planned it to.

Freakin’ laser beam death ray, that one.


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