I really like these .270 wcf threads.
For me, It was my very first centerfire rifle, I was 12 and a Husky. This was 1970.
Luckily, my uncle was a fully immersed, nuts and bolts handloader. He had an almost unlimited supply of milsurp powder to burn.
Naturally, the armory increased, and then over the last two decades decreased, centrally because of the excellent bullets available now.
The more well suited the bullet, the greater the .270's 280's and others performed on Elk and Moose.
In the old days, other than the Partition( which seemed unaffordable) bullets just seemed to frangible and hunters chose .30 caliber magnums because of this.
It is not the same these days at all, the 130 gr mono's and the 150 cup and core bullets( partition like) bullets have changed the rules, imo.
I am no longer a believer in kinetic energy as killing power, unless you want to kill your budget, with a new rifle, a short / fat round and high priced brass that allows 2 or 3 loadings.
The .270/.280, and 30/ 06 still rule , imo
