Someday I need to find a 270 for "just too cheap".
Don't think I have ever pulled the trigger on one.

Pretty sure it won't do anything the Sweed 308, 06, 300, 7mag don't do.
But......Just need to find out.

Have switched to the Speer Grand Slam 150 gr. for my mundane .270 Win hunting.

It's a $0.22/pop bullet(rebate) that will generally exit, and drops deer and hogs just fine w/o tearin' hell out of'em.

Sighted for 200, get by just fine w/ the extra 1.5" drop at 300.

My main deer/elk guns over the last 50 years have been a 270, 30-06, and 300 WSM. If you have a 30-06, buying the other 2 are a waste of money. I've never had an animal survive a hit from any of the 3. The 300 weighs too much at my age. I got it as a result of wanting a change from years of the 270 which left little to be desired but just wanted a change. The '06 is a compromise between larger and smaller but all are entirely adequate.

Have killed deer with those listed, plus 243 and 30-30.
Just seems like I need to try a 270.
Anymore, setting up to load a new round often stops me.
The days of dies, 100/bullets and brass, and a new trimmer pilot for under $70 are gone.

Long fugging gone, you buy dies ,brass ,bullets when you find a good deal not when you need them. That's how to have what you need before you need it. Easier to get the gun these days than the components to make it go bang. Way it is. Mb

I have owned several .270s in the 62 years I have been hunting..maybe 6 years ago, I found one in a pawn shop a guy made up just before he passed on.. It has become one of my three favorite rifles edging out the .25-06.. Mostly I have been shooting 140 Sierra HPBT.. But this fall I am loading a few 150 gr. Accubond and carrying at least some of the time for elk.. My daughter will be using the new to her 700 bdl .270 with .130 gr. Partitions...
