And the folks that just had to have a new 6.5 creedmore for deer...........when at all practical hunting ranges, the old 270 Win will do just fine. Seriously?!
SIL only had a .300WSM. Worked great on mulies, but he wanted another bolt rifle. He went with a 6.5 Creedmoor. Granted, the .270 Win is an excellent choice for deer (and elk), which is why I got a lefty .270 for Daughter #1.
SIL now has two 6.5 Creedmoor rifles and I added one last year. No regrets by wither of us that they aren’t .270 Win rifles. In fact, I think the 6.5 Creedmoor was a much better choice for both of us. In my case I already had a .243 Win, .257 Roberts, 6.5-06AI, .280 Rem, 7mm RM, .300BLK, .30-30, .308 Win, multiple .30-06, a .300WM and larger.
Don’t need a .270 Win, but I load for Daughter #1 and if I find one I can’t refuse…
