I'm going to steal this sentiment from someone else but would agree that when looking at all the virtues of the .270 and hunting the lower 48 (power, recoil, reach, accuracy, etc.), it is evident that rifle cartridge development has not progressed much in the past 60 + years.
270?
Hell, the 7Rem and 300Win are almost 60.
The shortmags were an attempt to slightly shorten the gun and duplicate others..
The Creed was an attempt to fix the 260, which is just a pup trying to
be a Sweet.
No, not much has been gained in 60 years in chambering.
Now as to precision in rifle and bullet manufacturing, and
powder tech and burn rates? Things have changed.
