To me, the 270 is not an Eastern cartridge. Have never understood its appeal in the East. It's at its finest as an all-around Western Cartridge, antelope to moose.
If Montana had a standing army, all would be issued 270's.
There once were many small dairy farms in the North East with open pastures where the 270 works very well. I've hunted one for the last decade or so and my average shots are about 200 yards...often farther. My 270 WSM really shines there but that's the only property where I use that rifle.
