The .270 case design is 96 years old now. It was state of the art when it was brought out.
Scopes were just becoming popular and "long range" was maybe 300 yards...
Bullet design could barely keep up with the new velocity envelopes being pushed.
The old girl made her reputation killing game of all sorts and sizes, at short range and long - and doing it very well. It's still doing it today. It's always among the top sellers of rifle and dies. Year after year - decade after decade. There's reasons for that. Light recoil, adequate killing power, flat trajectory, a rifle of reasonable weight and plenty of support from the ammo industry.
The .270 is better today than it ever was and is still a viable choice for the majority of us.
