270 with 130 ttsx or 06 with 168ttsx are deadly


Uust curious, but what game are you shooting under 300 yards where the 30-06 would be a clear choice over a 270 using comparable bullets?

There ain't a dimes worth a practcal difference in the two. I love the .270 because it was the first rifle I bought and I have used it for the past 54 years with a lot of success. But I now have 2 .30-06s that I also love. If one has a real advantage over the other, the .30-06 is capable of taking bigger game than a .270 because of the availability of heavy bullets due to its larger diameter. But around here of the game we have in Texas the two are equal. These two, the .270 and the .30-06, are the greatest of American cartridges.
