I can take a 260 Rem with a 125 NP and equal field performance of a 270 Win 130 NP.
This statement right here is precisely the reason this argument continues. A lot of people disagree with it because of the word "equal." While the performance of those two loads is very similar, and the difference may not be seen by watching the animal die, they are not equal. The velocity may be the same, but one delivers a larger, heavier bullet. Personally, I prefer the 260 load because of lighter recoil, but I do not delude myself into believing it is equal to the 270 Win load. Many, MANY people prefer the 270, and they are not making a mistake.
