I haven't sold any rifles because I have a .270!! I really like mine and plan on a couple hunts with it this fall... l do use it quite a bit in the off season for coyotes... But it will never replace the 7mm Mag. and .300's in my big game rifles... Still I use it a lot and like it alot..

I like and use my Tikka T3X 7mm RM and Win 70 300 WM too. Jerry

Amen, Ol Bobby is smiling with that one. Man he's missed around here. Yep. Chambered in his honor: Great looking rifle Scott. I still remember after he got his 6.5 CM..., Skawty (he said) the damned thing drops outta the sky compared to me 270. Great dude.

Reading this thread I couldn't help thinking of BobinNH. He would have had relevant entries here.

They are more alike than different.
Hey, you stole my old sig line... can't do that without proper reference to the author Proper reference to Brad then. You give a competent person a rifle they like. No matter the chambering, I would bet that range results will be stellar and hunting results more than satisfactory. What is the quote? "it is the Indian not the bow" If one can not get the job done with a 6.5, 270, 280/7mm, 30 cal. My guess is the operating system running the hardware has a serious issues.

I remember as a young boy reading diligently all the Jack O'Connor stories I could get my hands on and knew that someday I would own a .270. I had memorized his load that he would use of 62.0g of H4831 in W-W brass and a 130g bullet. I knew that if I ever got to the point where I could reload....that would be my load too. After saving and saving and along with some help from my Dad the day came when I bought a Rem 721 in .270 at age 13.
Factory ammo was the only thing that it saw for the longest time until I started to reload after marriage and the first of our boys. I loaded up the same formula but this time it was in an early Ruger with the tang safety. Man was I disappointed when that Ruger did not deliver the size groups that Jack got our of his shooters. I tried and tried to find the magic formula with bullets , powders and primers but to no avail. It was replaced later with a Win Model 70 .300 Win Mag and the Ruger was given to a son who was newly married.
My first deer was taken with that Rem 721 with open sights at about 80 yards and it put down a small 3x3 Idaho Mulie. Many other deer and elk followed and that trend continued with the .300 WM. I liked the .300 WM due to it's increased distance and a heavier payload.
Now as I'm without boys in our home I tend toward the long range shooting and the 6.5 Creed and the 6.5 Grendel as do our sons.
Fondest memories of those bygone days with the .270 and my dad out hunting. I still have a reverence for the cartridge.

Does anybody make a 1:8 or 1:9 twist off the rack .270? Or do you have to go to a custom barrel?
It's a great life if you don't weaken..

I wish they had invented the 6.5 Creedmoor back in 1926.
Then the .270 could have been their improvement.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

I just got my first one. Bought it used from another member here. Got it sighted in with 130 gr Nosler Partitions. Haven't killed anything with it yet. I like the rifle.

Not that I am aware of.
I am having a fast twist 270 built right now. Specifically to shoot the 170gr Bergers. I am leaving the actual twist up to my gunsmith. He is an accomplished LR shooter, and I trust his decision.. I told him I thought 1:8, but he felt a 1:9 will do anything I am asking. Will see what he decides.

I hope you noticed the bolt handle is on the WRONG side ! Jerry Haa, not for me. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice. Ya know, left handed people are the only ones in their right mind.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Trystan,
Hmm. Thought you might be knowledgeable enough to grasp why the 6.5x55 cannot be the 6.5 Creedmoor--which is why the 6.5 Creedmoor is far outselling the 6.5x55 even in Europe. But whatever....

All this Creedmoor derangement syndrome reminds me of Trump derangement... i.e. irrational...... I did love when BobinNH got his Creed took it to the range and was amazed how much the bullet dropped compared to his 270...... The Creed is a good round but it is different than the 270, better ? yes and no
