I keep hearing the old 270 is dead so I went to midway the other day and looked at factory load offerings. There were 68 hunting factlory loads. For the 6.5 creedmoor there were 90 some factory loads 60 some od which were sold as hunting ammo (varmint/big game). The rest were match loads some of which I know guys use for hunting however they are not marketed that way. Any case the old 270 is hanging right in there with the most popular, modern load of the day when it comes to hunting ammo. Since the 270 is and always was a hunting round, not a target round, seems to be doing ok. People get all tied up with PRS but I read there are 10 thousand some guys competing im that sport. John Haviland quipped in an American Rifleman article not long ago there are more hunters in 2 counties in PA than compete in long range target. I thought that was pretty jnteresting point given the amount of focus the prs rounds get in press
