There are better candidates out there but nothing wrong with a 270 win for 95% of hunting big game situations ....
That is exactly why I bought a .270 Win for Daughter #1. A 150g ABLR @ 2912fps is nothing to sneer at, especially when it groups like hers does. Rem M700 made long ago, gently used and purchased a few months ago.
Recoil is under 18 foot-lbs, 1500fpe out past 800 yards, 10mph xwind drift under 13" at 600. Not too shabby and better than most.
