[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3020294, member: 5412"] Ok, here is some personal experience to consider. I own both calibers in quality rifles, and reload for both. Why have you never seen the .270 in any national competition? Why was the 30-06 the King of competition in the 1000 yard Camp Perry matches? The 06 of course was popular as the round coming out of WWII/Korea, and rifles were built around it. Since eclipsed by other rounds. The .270 seems to be not as accurate for whatever reason. There are calibers that have sweet spots. 52 grain in .22-250, 150 grain in .308, and 168 grain in 30-06 for some of the classic calibers. I just can't make the .270 shoot tight target quality groups no matter the load. The 06, is capable of tiny groups at 100 yds if the shooter is capable of doing it. The .270 though has been plenty accurate enough for 300 yd plus kills on animals. Just not target quality. [/QUOTE]
