Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Is a 130 grain in .270 much of an advantage over .308/.30-06 after 300 yards?

The 30.06 is a fine round. There is almost nothing in North America it can't handle. I've killed a lot of stuff with it. It's the work horse of the gun world. A good work horse can be ridden, he'll pull a wagon, you can load a pack saddle on him, etc. The thing is he's not ideal for any of those tasks. Same goes for the 30.06. That's why my pre-64 M70 stays in the safe a lot these days.
