Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why Has the 270 Winchester Fell Out of Favor?

This thread has legs.

.270 is the cartridge I hunt with the least. Here in Va, if I have a chance to rifle hunt, it's usually my .30-06 or .30-30. I should take the .270s out. People tend to think of them as excelling out on the open lands. There's a lot of value in a rifle that can feed a bullet through an opening in dense stuff, too.

Here's my Portugal-made M70 Super Grade in .270.




And my X-Bolt in .270.
