Would you choose the 270 WCF, 270 WSM, or the 270 Weatherby? I have all three, like them all, but I’d go the 270 WSM if I could only have one.

Bullets will always matter wayyyyyyyyy more than headstamps,which is why the trio sucks ass. Hint.

Pass the 280,7 Whizzum and 7mm Rem Mag and hold The Fluff.

An 8-twist 270 WCF is the way to go, out of your choices. More and more good bullets out there for a fast-twist 270, and the old standards will shoot just fine too. The extra pop of the larger cartridges is just not needed.

I’m more of a 7 mag guy myself, never owned a 280, but might someday. The 270’s are fun to shoot, better deer cartridges I think, but what the hell do I know??

A .270 WCF, with a quality bullet is the ticket for myself.
With the latest developments in powders, it rivals anything out there and plenty for mature Bull Elk.
Even out of a 22" barrel it has lots of downrange capability. The WSM and the Weatherby might be a little tougher to shoot well, consistently well. ( with a short tube)
Sheep hunters minimize weight and bulk and most won't use a repeater with a 24 or 26" barrel. Cheers- .Good luck

David,

I cain't know the minimum,for a couple/few reasons. Hint.

1) I only have whole value RPM's in said chambering(8").
2) Though it's low tide now here in Kansas,Winter has yet to arrive and atmospherics affect stability a "smidge"
3) They pinwheel in 7-08 SALAMI at 8",in the current atmosphere

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

The hurdles are gonna be COAL latitude/throat geometry,as the bitches do have some "length",if only to horn KchuntShoot up even more. Hint. LAUGHING!

7-08AI/190 at a mocked 3.00" COAL. I don't have any rifles so chambered,that'll get that far in regards to mag confines,as I drive AICS binderless for .025"-ish less latitude. Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

Someone was musing Montucky 84L COAL confines,ala 7mm Mouser Improved and it'd jive nicely,with a thunk to throating,which is of course easily arranged. Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

Coming full circle,the easiest pitch is a 700 L/A and I'd just as soon drive 280 SALAMI as anything. No thang to reap 5rds in the belly and it's turn-key Awesomeness,with ZERO trade-offs or bullschit. Win/win. Hint.

Here's a 162 ELD M,175 NPT,180 ELD and the 190 Beer Can,if only in extrapolation. Hint.

Food for thunking.

Thank me later.

Hint..................




Mossykchunt,

Stabilization is factored by Gross RPM and Atmosphere,though I'm sure the number "8" makes you giddy...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Gross RPM is different at 1000fps,than it is at 3000fps,despite a 1-8" constant. Read that again. now one more time. Hint. LAUGHING!

Whichever rifle you like the best. The animals won't know the difference between the 3. I have both a .270 and a WSM. I really like the rifle the WSM is chambered in so I use it often. That being said a .270 WCF lives in my truck (Stevens 200). The animals I shoot don't seem to know the difference.

I have 2 different 270 wins there both good shooters. At 1 time I had a m70 pf carbine, it shot ok but the muzzle blast from the short 20" barrel really sucked so it went down the road. I also have a Mark V Sporter in 270 Weatherby mag , it shoots 150 gr Horn SP's at 3150 fps very accurately and kills deer and antelope rfn. Until you try thr 270 Weatherby don't knock it they are amazing.

Limited to these choices....my choice would be none of the above.

My centerfire fancy begins at .284 & ends at .308.
Posted By: elkaddict Re: Which 270?? - 10/22/20
I have a 270win shooting 130s at 3100 and the wsm shooting 140s at 3200. Both are 1/2” guns. I tend to grab the wsm...and would be confident with it for everything between deer and elk with the 140 accubonds. YMMV. No question a 270win is adequate for the same, I just prefer the wsm. Both are Tikka 3x models so it’s not the rifle.

Posted By: szihn Re: Which 270?? - 10/23/20
I have owned 7 different 270 Winchesters and also one 270 WSM. I killed deer, atelope and elk with the Short mag and I have killed most American game except buffalo and moose with my various 270 Winchesters, starting in 1968. And I did kill about 12-14 horses and cattle with my 270 when I was a kid on the ranch. I hunt with a man that's been using the 270 Weatherby for about 20 years, so I have seen a lot of game killed with that round too.

Of the 3 you listed I'd still go back to the Original.

as of nowI own a 25-06, a 6.5 Mannlicher, three 270 Winchesters, two 308s, a 303 British, two 300 Savages, three 30-06s a 300 H&H and an 8MM Mauser and then my bore sizes jump up to .366, 375 and 423". But from 25 to 32 calibers of the rifles I still own now, and including many I have owned and sold or traded off, I have to say the 270 Winchester seems to kill all game up to and including bull elk as well and in many cases a bit better then any of them. (Yes I do include the 300 mags, the 7MM Mags and the 338 mag)

Why?

I can't really say,--------- but that's what I have seen over the last 1/2 century. Mathematically it should NOT do as well as the 7MM Mags 300s and the 338s. But it has for me and has for over 50 years. In all my hunting and guiding hunters, if used with good bullets for the job, I have not seen the old 270 ever lack for anything.

The largest game animals I have personally killed with 270s were bull elk and the largest non-game animals I have killed with them were cattle. The largest game I ever saw killed with 270s were 3 moose and one bull bison shot by this man.>>> https://www.wyofile.com/the-life-of-a-trapping-legend/ Jake killed that big bull with one round of Factory Remington 150 grain Round Nose to the neck from about 125 yards, and the buffalo dropped instantly.

Posted By: Tejano Re: Which 270?? - 10/23/20
The 270 win. has panache the others don't have. I am shooting the WSM now and once I got past the advertising hype I like it a lot. Have not shot the 270 Weatherby having always had one or more 7mm RM around, but it is easy to see why it was a favorite of Ed Weatherby. My sons 270 Colt/NULA is a sweet and very practical rig. Light but heavy enough to shoot well. My 270 WSM is in a feather weight hunters edge stock and under 8lbs fully ready to hunt. Last couple of times it got the nod for Elk hunting as my 7RM and 300 Win. are a pound to a pound and a half heavier.

So, I can't decide, but I think everyone should have a 270 Win. the others are nice too.
Posted By: CrimsonTide Re: Which 270?? - 10/23/20
In my early years, I could not abide the thought of the 270 WCF. I had a hunting partner that used it to the exclusion of everything else. I giggled and called it a poodle rifle but in reality, every time I heard that rifle crack, I got up and started in his direction, because I KNEW he had game down. He shot nothing but 130 grain Remington Core-Lokts. Still does. Now, myself, I was a 7mm/08 man and then a few other cartridges too. Call me more of an experimenter and he more of a traditionalist. Fast forward, I get a chance to order a rifle gratis. Christensen arms. Pick the rifle. Pick the cartridge....I end up with a 270 Winchester. If I don't reload, or if I do. the 270 will fill the freezer. Easily. I have no illusions that it can be eclipsed by other cartridges but with factory familiarity is what it is. I keep this rifle to ensure meat in the freezer.

And I've never found it lacking on game, up thru & including moose so of those 3, the Win version, hands down.

But................if you have a choice in a new rifle then the 280 excels & makes the most sense, if for no other reason, it shines brightly with 160's & there are a plethora of really good 160 grain bullets available.

And the 7-08 ain't bad either; magnum sized rounds, either belted or not, don't spin my prop much.

270Win for me. Load it with 150 Partitions and you’re good to go for most North American game. Old combo, but still highly effective.

If you can't kill any of the non-dangerous species of North American game with a properly constructed bullet fired from a 270 WIN you're probably not much of a hunter. Of course the same could be said of many cartridge/bullet combinations. The 270 is too easy, too common, too conventional for people who like to take the road less traveled.

I have owned 2 or the 3 270's listed, never owned a 270 Bee. That being said I would not feel under gunned with any, but would chose the 270 Win. in these times just for the fact that ammo would be easier to find. And brass could be made from an 06 with one stroke of the handle.
