Stevens223: The wonderful 270 Winchester cartridge has NOT "fallen out of favor" with me - nor with any of my many Hunting partners/friends who actually use and continue to admire this caliber!
The last 7 Whitetailed Deer I have harvested were all taken with one shot from my Remington 700 Sendero in caliber 270 Winchester at extended ranges (out to 450 Lasered yards).
Over the years I have also taken Black Bear, Bull Elk, Blacktailed Deer, Mule Deer and Antelope with my various 270 Winchester chambered Rifles.
DO NOT be confused or influenced by any anti-270 Winchester blather (bullschit!)!
In fact cast a disparaging eye and tend to distrust ANY "nimrod" who even tries to discredit the 270 Winchester (especially the dickwads who call the 270 "gay"!)!
Long live the wonderful 270 Winchester.
Hold into the wind
