I have known for a long time that Warren used the Mashburn as a cheater .300 Weatherby. He let the 175's sectional density and reasonable recoil with a reasonable weight gun (8 lb.) do the work rather than the use a 200 gr. and heavier gun and recoil.
I have an article of his somewhere that extols the virtues of the .270 as the perfect western mule deer rifle. I just like the sectional density of the 130 gr. 6.5's driven at 3,200 vs the .270. It is sort of a Page thing.
