It would just spit out the 30.06 Springfield all over again....

Actually I think it would be the 30-06 case necked down to 6.5 or something close. I don't own a .270 but the Army just went to a 51 mm case (.308) and a 6.8 mm (.270) bullet. The idea was to drill through body armor up to 600 yards. It may not be "perfect" for everything but the Army apparently feels it's perfect for their mission. I wonder if they processed the potential round and bullet via a computerized program ?
