Ok, let's put this to rest if the gentle readers here will allow. For now.. If possible. [/b]All things being equal[b] the .270 is a "little gentler"; a " little flatter" on the asset side; the '06 is is just a "little bigger" on the asset side. We will focus on assets for brevity and clarity. Well, guess that's it. Remember all other things, aspects, foci are equal.

Application: would all agree the .270 can be [/i] fittingly [i] well used from varmint to bull elk or their equivalence assuming intelligent choice of bullets? Ok. I realize "fittingly" is the pregnant-with-meaning word here. Would all agree that the '06 is [/i] fittingly [i] appropriately used from, say, pronghorn to AK moose with of course this same diligent attention to bullets? Ok. Remember, all other things are equal.

So, on final argument, there is tremendous overlap in appropriate use with some slight but noticeable differences which may give an advantage to one or other at the edges of there application.

Well, I'm convinced. grin
