[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1557431, member: 5412"] The .270 is the brainchild of Jack OCconner, a great rifleman,and a great outdoor writer. He championed the-then wildcat .270 and killed many elk with it. He was always in heated arguments with Elmer Kieth that was a big bore or nothing advocate. History has proved the .270 to be great round for every animal on the north American continent. Since then thousands of gun writers needing to publish a story have touted the .270 vs the 30.06. Basically the only difference is that the .270 is longer and sleeker in the ogive of the bullet, resulting in a tiny difference in drift down- range. It's not much, but needs to be taken Into consideration at long ranges. I love the 3O.06. It's the parent cartridge of dozens of rounds. Why not choose the King of all rifle cartridges? 55 grain to 200 grain. What's not to like?:D [/QUOTE]
