The .30-30 (excuse me, the .30 W.C.F.) upset a LOT of hunters in the 1890's. And then when some were just getting used to the .30-30, Winchester brought out that damned .270, which no real hunter needed because the .30-30 was plenty.
Of course, the radical 6.5x55 had already been around for over 30 years when the .270 appeared--but in 1925 even the Swedsih and Norwegian armies hadn't gotten around to loading 139-grain spitzers in it. sticking to the tried-and-true 156 roundnose.
