I know it sounds odd bu I have my reasons:

-If I need it, factory .270 ammo is available anywhere.
-More .277 high BC VLD type bullets are starting to show up. With bullets similar to the Berger linked above it will hang with pretty much anything out there. Someone on this forum often voices the astute observation that “bullets matter more than headstamps.”
-I have more DRT kills with a .270 than any other cartridge. Probably just luck of the draw when compared to other cartridges but it inspires much confidence.
-Finally, similarly to the 6.5 Creedmoor, I’d do it just to irritate all the haters. 😂😂

Now you are talking!

My next build is going to be exactly that. Problem is, I have two 338-06's and a 416 Remington in the works right now.

To heck with the 270 detractors. cool
