Yeah, I 'd happily give up the good bullets of the 6.5 or 7
No need to not use good bullets in the .270. The .277 140 grain Accubond, 140 Sierra Tipped GameKing for example have good b.c.'s without being excessively long, good sectional density, good accuracy, ideal cross-sectional area, good performance on game. In a relatively light hunting rifle at realistic distances such as up to about 350 yards its ideal. Once you get much beyond that, you really need to start thinking of longer barrels of heavier profile, more magnification and bigger heavier scopes, bipods, possibly even different stocks. Townsend Whelen advocated it as the ideal big game cartridge.
