It's like a Creedmoor, but with the wrong twist so it can only shoot light for caliber or horribly un-aerodynamic bullets. And in a long action so you can have a heavier, less capable rifle. And the wrong shoulder angle so you can get the joys of brass stretch and poor efficiency. And too much taper since clearly you're going to shoot it in a machine gun.
The .270 is the poster girl for cartridge design failure. It combines the numerous mistakes of the .30-06 with the additional mistake of the wrong twist rate.

Do tell Bob… tell us what the intent of the designer(s) were and how they failed to achieve them. Additionally, provide the mistakes that were made with the 30-06 where they had specific design parameters and specifications yet failed to achieve them. Be specific about the design inputs and how they failed to achieve them since you know. I am pretty confident that most cartridges were designed without your input or approval.

The 270 has always been a hunting cartridge and it has a great track record. With my Supergrade, I have the 110 TTSX averaging 3536 fps and the 130 TBT averaging 3223 fps, both book loads with Hunter and RL26. I haven't worked up any 150s yet, but no doubt they'll be north of 3K with RL26. All with fairly light recoil and great hunting accuracy. Is it better than any number of others? No, but it's a great cartridge and it's easy for the eunuchs to hate greatness Those 110 TTSX's are amazing out of a 24" 270 with Hunter behind 'em. Several elk. Several mule deer. Makes my 270 think it's a 257 Weatherby

The .270 is the poster girl for cartridge design failure. It combines the numerous mistakes of the .30-06 with the additional mistake of the wrong twist rate. For all the reasons you say it is a failure I can flip it around to be a positive. Actually a 1/10 twist handles bullets that are heavy enough to get through heavy bone and muscle on Elk and Moose. A longer action often facilitates smoother cycling than many of the newer short / fats. Brass lasts a long time, 10 or more uses for the handloader is common. Cartridge case taper is a good thing( and a gentle shoulder) in my book, it easier to extract a sticky case. Oh yeah, and it has a properly long neck to ensure a better, more square ( less run out) bullet seating. Works well with a 22" barrel.( so does the equally good 30/06 and .280 Rem) My little old point of view, folks
