I enjoyed the read. It reminds me of some of the stuff that Askins Jr. used to write about the 30-06. I always chuckled when he called it a "pipsqueak" and said that it was for those who had lace on their panties.
I know the '06 is a good cartridge, and will work on 98 percent of the world's game animals, but I don't care for it.
Towsley's article will or did generate hate mail for at least 6 months.
Regardless, the 270 WCF is a good cartridge and kills game with aplomb. (especially if loaded with the 130 grain Partition.)
