Nah, the .270 is a poser. I know guys that got so frustrated with the .270 they bought a 7mm Mag. Still couldn't hit anything in the woods of Georgia with them. The .308 is the little brother of the -06 that just never grew up.
The .30-30 is the laser of death. Boom.
I have my asbestos suit on, ya can't hurt me.
I am..........disturbed.

Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.

Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

The .308 is short action and available appropriately twisted. The case is OK but not great. The .270 is one of the worst designed hunting rounds of the 20th century - wrong twist, crap bullets as a result, too much taper, too steep a shoulder. It really gets nothing at all right. A junk round that reflects poorly on those who shoot it.

WOW. Hard to believe that a 270 will kill anything more than the shooter.
That steep shoulder is really the big problem.
The 277x03 is a much better round.

Personally, I have yet to buy much of anything for resale. Selling my hunting rifles would be a challenge, especially the synthetic stocked ones....never know, it could of been used as a Jack handle . I prefer the .308 Jack handle over the .270 Jack handle...just have too much respect for the .270 wcf. And in like contoured barrels, the 270 will be stronger due to the smaller bore, and thus a better jack handle. Finally, it is decided!

LOL, I don't know about all that but I'd agree that the post is asinine. The .270 is a "junk round." These threads really bring out the best in critical thinking.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I especially like the " Twisted wrong" horse chit. Of everything I've ever loaded for,the 270 Win is hands down the most likely to group the full range of bullets well. Second place goes to the 7 Rem mag. Both have been accused of being twisted wrong. If you want to shoot bullets longer than the case it's coming from, buy a creedmoor. Spewing irrelevant bull chit to folks that know better is just a waste of bandwidth.

The 308 will have better resale value.
The 270 is slowly dying in the used gun market, while the 308 is the biggest selling centerfire cartridge in the world, I believe.
A link or two to your source(s), would be interesting. Crickets.

I especiarry rike the " Twisted wong" horse chit. Of everything I've ever roaded for,the 270 Win is hands down the most rikery to group the furr range of burrets werr. Second prace goes to the 7 Rem mag. Both have been accused of being twisted wong. If you want to shoot burrets ronger than the case it's coming from, buy a creedmoor. Spewing irrerevant burr chit to forks that know better is just a waste of bandwidth. ![[Linked Image]](https://pics.me.me/thumb_dey-call-me-wong-sum-ting-wong-pin-by-brad-51510363.png)

HuntandSoot, yes a fellow misuser of the 15.00 dollar, plastic and pot metal truck gun. There is a chance will will bend the barrel straight and true. Things that embarrass me, 1) admitting I own Tupperware 2) black Tupperware 3) a decent barrelled action on a Tupperware stock. Any of the above is fair game as a pry bar, jacket handle or shim stock. There must be a thread somewhere expounding the superiority of the .308 for thes uses.....maybe I dreamt it.Cheers
