I never liked it. In fact, despite having owned dozens of centerfire rifles, both larger and smaller, have never owned one in my life and doubt I ever will..
Never even owned one and hate it. lol! Can't make that sh t up.
I don't currently have one, but the LH Rem KS I had in .270 was a real peach.
Who's the idiot who gave the .270 the 'gay' moniker? Travis? Never quite understood that stupidity.
Actually, somebody hating a cartridge they've never owned a rifle for, or even fired, is pretty common. Just look at any 6.5 Creedmoor thread.
But I have also seen it crop up whenever any Campfire member compliments almost any rifle cartridge. Apparently if many shooters REALLY like a certain cartridge, then they have to hate something else similar enough to "threaten" the niche of their favorite.
Still see this occasionally when the subject of the .17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum comes up, which is kind of odd since the .17 HMR has been around a long time now, and (like the .270 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor) is not about to go away. But somebody almost always posts something like this: "I have an accurate .22 Magnum, which will do anything the .17 HMR will do and more. So am not about to spend money on the latest fad, which is so useless I will never own one."
Come to think of it, Blackheart is one of those guys too....
Ummm, afraid not Johnny. I bought a 17 HMR {Marlin 17v} very shortly after they came out. Kept it for a few years. Hunted it a bunch. It was very accurate. Ultimately decided to sell it after a few years. Just not much use for it as we don't have any gophers, ground squirrels or prarie dogs around here. Found It was good for crows and not much else. Also never said I hated the .270. Said I never liked it. At least not enough to buy one of my own. As I said before, my sons and my long time hunting partner use .270's and have for many years. I have shot their rifles and seen game killed with them. Folks are sure good at putting words in other peoples mouths on here. If you're going to be condescending pricks, at least get the facts straight.
