Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Boddington on the .270 Winchester

You're welcome to try to defend the indefensible, but facts are facts. The .270 will forever be crippled by the morons at Winchester failing to set the twist rate between the 6.5mm Mauser and 7mm Mauser. They though they were making a medium game/varmint crossover rifle and slow twisted it, and that's now what the .270 is stuck with. Meanwhile the 6.5mms carry on as the superior big game rifles.

I will say though, the .270 may in fact be the superior woodchuck gun

For sure, winner winner chicken.....

But also Jorge reporting his uncle took an African lion with it and silvertips is near up there.

It would be nice for him to start popping critters with it and report on his success with it compared to that which he had with the 06.,

Not a woodchuck but it'll do in this case.....

I like it because I point it at deer, pigs or whatever and they go down and stay down.

It may be gay or outdated, but it works!!

The vast majority of the time, listening to your advice is an even bigger mistake.

Just load your .270 with one of them 90gr Speer TNTs, and you'll have a sell-able rabbit fur

That's nice. You've been an ignorant joke in nearly every thread I've seen you in. Do you practice, or does knowing nothing come naturally to you?

Keep talking Llama, you're doing good.

We have a cousin that’s an out of the closet rump ranger, too. We don’t talk about him much either.... LOL!

Thanks, you finally convinced me that you ARE an arrogant A and don't know as much as you think. I've been around her quite a while and JG has proven his knowledge and success MANY times with pictures. Can't say the same for you.

I really have been giving you room to convince me... Congrats -- you have.





J, YEP, you are correct AGAIN. Congrats.

Ahh yes, ignore the facts. The only thing that matters is that a cartridge was used by great gandpa to shoot possums. That makes it great. The fact that the .270 is objectively crap compared to every cartridge around it doesn't matter. Carry on

Congrats Llama. In only 385 attempts here on this forum you've managed to exceed a level of dumbassery that is seldom seen, nor topped.

He is no longer on my screen.

Keep dodging and hiding from the facts you clown

Good choice. I would never want a coward like you to be agitated by facts

Don't know why the Creed is getting so much attention the 7-08 is by far the better cartridge.

The 7mm-08 didn't get the fast twist rate and 7mm bore is a little too big for most shooting sports on that size case - the 7mm short magnums saw (and still see) more play with the 6.5s and 6mms dominating on the smaller cases.

Well Mr. Gandhi or anyone else for that matter is welcome to offer a facts-based defense of the .270. They can try to explain how great low sectional density, excessive taper and steep shoulder cases are in a hunting round. But if what they're selling is nostalgia rather than physics, I'm not buying. And when it gets down to facts, the .270 pretty much sucks. About the only good thing you can say about it is that the SAAMI max pressure is high.
