I never saw but one guy use a .270W back in East, Tx right up until I left, 1987. I moved here to Utah in '90, and began asking what folks used. Many more 270s and 30-06s , 7mm Rem Mags than anything else. The 7mm/08 was popular for the Youth Hunt, but so was the 30-30! Lots and lots of used Mod 99 300 Savages in pawn shops then too. Now I see a spattering of newer rounds, but the one that keeps coming up ( and not implying I have asked them ALL) is the 270 Win. Not surprising. Its still very easy to shoot, and kills well.
