Although I have used the 270 some, I can’t say exclusively.. Having said that I now wonder how many of us still hold this fine cartridge in high regard. As a young man it seemed the then new 7 mm Remington would kill off the 270, it did not. Now we have the 6.5 Creedmoor and even more powerful 6.5’s aiming at the 270. I for one will still keep using the 270, how about you?

I never liked it. In fact, despite having owned dozens of centerfire rifles, both larger and smaller, have never owned one in my life and doubt I ever will..

Haven't been shooting my 270 much this year. I picked up a Kimber Hunter 6.5 Creed. The old 270 is certainly one of the most capable hunters but I picked up a 6.5 Creed. The 270 is one of the greatest calibers ever created but I picked up a 6.5 Creed. I still like the 270. Love that Creed. Named it Foxy. Jim

I am an unapologetic 270 fan. I am an unapologetic 270 hater. I'm not a hater. It's a great round. I just like the 280AI (or the 280) better. Giving the Creed another whirl too, but more due to the rifle it's chambered in. But at the ranges I normally shoot I still believe the 270 is better.

I've used the old 270 now for about 45 years in one rifle or another. First in a model 70, and 2 different remington bdls over the years. It has always done what i've asked of it. Nothing better for mulies, whitetails, antelope, elk, and moose. With proper bullets it will take care of most hoofed game in north america. Nosler partitions in 130, and 150 do well.

For more than a few years the 270 Win was my only centerfire rifle. Have used 85-150gr bullets for hunting and shot up to 180gr Woodleighs at the range.
85gr TSX works on deer 90gr Speer works on prairie dogs, rabbits, squirrels, skunks, porcupines and coyotes. 100-110gr AB's and T/TSX's work on deer/antelope, black buck, and Axis. 130-150 on hogs, deer, antelope, elk, black bear, and caribou.
I believe I may have nine 270's right now. Own a couple of 6.5 Creedmoors, and planning on sending them down the road.

I don’t currently own one but a .270 will always have a place in my heart. I have more DRT kills with a .270 than any other cartridge. Often think of having another put together. This one would probably be a 1:9 or 1:8 twist though...

I've seldom, if ever been without one for 35 or 36 years. It's an excellent balance of accuracy, flat trajectory, and reasonable recoil. With new powders it's even better. A 150gr bullet at over 3000 is easy and safe to do now, and with proper construction should easily take anything in the lower 48 at any sane range. Twist it a hair tighter for something like 170gr Bergers, and it can go long(er). Ammo is easy to find at all price levels, as are components and data. Lots of other rounds can do the same job, but most aren't quite as "accessible" in regard to ammo and rifle model availability.
What I can't understand is why so many people take a dislike to a particular cartridge, often without ever trying it, or why they get their feelers hurt when their pets start to flounder in the market against new stuff. Short of ammo actually being discontinued, what's the big deal? Is it some kind of personal validation thing? As long as what I have works for me, I could GAS what someone else uses.
What fresh Hell is this?
