It's not. The 270 is still the cartridge to which all others are compared.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

As per usual, the first response on the thread is the correct one.

It goes back to early tongue-in-cheek Campfire razzle, humorous in intent and recognized as such by the majority of rational rifle loonies. (Now there's a contradiction in terms!) Taken as an affront by thin-skinned users not in on the joke.

It was "projection" on the part of some insecure 7x57 nutjobs.

An old joke, all in good humor.
Way before this became a thing, a friend of mine starting referring to his 270 Finnbear as a "girl's -06" because it kicked less but still killed deer and elk quite well with 160 Partitions.
Quit shooting elk with his old 308 Norma Mag...

It's a joke, started before I joined the fire. Of course, I cant let it go at that.... If you notice, just about every time a cartridge, caliber, new gun, old gun, etc. that is used for deer sized game is talked about, it is compared to a 270. So I guess you could say it is the standard, all round, only one needed deer, elk, antelope, etc. rifle. Even the Poobah shoots a 'baby' 270. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/X2V5Coz.jpg)

Don't know. I have two in the safe (one Weatherby and 1 Winchester), but they've not come out yet.

Better not tell Jack the .270's gay, he might field dress you on the spot.

Just because they went metric and called it the 6.8, it doesn't make the gay go away.

It's kinda like when you were a kid and got into "cut down" fights with your buddies. It's the last resort as an insult.....

It's not. Those who make that claim are repressing their own tendencies in that direction.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Thanks Steelhead, had not seen this one but read much of his OL stuff when I was a kid. Always thought of him as a great man...regardless of detractor. Seemed he popularized the .270 for many. Mac
