The real world differences once seen in a 3-400fps advantage have largely evaporated due to range finders, dial or BDC style optics. Heck with the right scope & dope anyone can rig up a 30-30 to shoot 400 yards.
A generation ago, velocity was all we had.
I own and shoot 270 Win/WSM & Wby. I just don’t have anything to offer to add to what has already been shared. For me it boils down to my love for the 150gr Nosler Partition and it’s outstanding capabilities.
I could go along with that. Kid makes some valid points as well, brass isn't hard to come by so that is a moot point.
Honestly if I was going 270 Wby I'd want a 1-8 barrel so I could really fling some of the newer bullets myself, but with the Mashburn I don't need that either, but need has never really played into much I have dreamed up!
