Nobody Brad, just a simple statement of fact. Shooters need to move on from the mind set of some store or factory allways having the ammo they need, when they want it, for how much they want to pay. Ammo business don't work that way anymore. Mb Most hunters don't handload - that's a fact.

Would agree to that but it doesn't change the fact that ammo accessibility has changed and the factory ammo buyers need to note that and change buying habits to keep themselves in ammo. To many shortages in the last 20 years should have taught them that..mb

even Elmer Kieth talked well of the 270 as a plains/stalking cartridge. He seemed to hate the 30-06 though.

The majority of hunters aren't handloaders.
I wouldn't even consider the majority of hunters to be "shooters"
But your point is still valid. Ammo availability and pricing should be driving more to the reloading bench.
And the idea that .30-06, .308 etc will always be available is no longer the case.

My first gun was a 270 Win. It was a good gun. I also got a 270 WSM. I like both guns. I find myself going back to the 270 Win more and more. I got a 30.06 a donor for a 270 Win with a 26 inch barrel. Then I found a 270 with a 26 inch barrel, so that project is on hold. This summer I plan to check it out and see how 26 inch 270 Win shoots. I have shot a lot of animals with my 270 Win.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Jack O’Conner spoke highly of it👍 . Jack O'Connor made a living off the .270 Winchester. I think he also said, that if the .280 Remington was around at the time he adopted the .270, he would have chosen that.

I've had two .270's. An 80's Model 700 ADL that shot 130 grain Sierra's darn near in the same hole. I killed a lot of stuff with that rifle. Including my largest west Texas muley. I sold it to a friend and bought a Browning A-bolt Stainless Stalker in .270 when they first came out. I had to have one. The Browning really likes the 130 grain Sierra as well as the 130 Speer Grand Slam. It wears a sliver Leupold VXIII and it's never let me down. I just don't' shoot it much any more since I bought another 6.5 Swede and a 6.5 PRC.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

I get a kick out of the ‘I don’t post hunting pics due to respect for the animal’ or however he’s phrased it in the past. However, apparently posting a pic of a half rotted coyote on the rifle range that he admittedly didn’t even bother to go look at until a few days after he killed it, is just a good respectful way to honor the animal. And he claims someone else is strung out on meth…. Here's that Coyote that I shot a few days earlier at 600 yards, drove down close enough to take a pic of it, when setting up my target stand at 600 yards: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/cWHBxOj.jpg)
