270 is best in the west. I came back to it in spite of shooting a 280AI, a 270 WSM 6.5x55 and a 7 RM. If I got rid of these the 270 would fill all the same gaps. The 270 does fine with a 22" barrel all the others except the Swede perform better with longer barrels, the 270 does too but doesn't need it. With the newer powders any gap with the 270 WSM and 7 mag just got narrower. I keep hoping to shoot out the 270 or the 270 WSM so I can put a faster twist barrel on it and use the 170 & 180 VLD type bullets.
