First I've heard of that one. It's been my go to caliber for 30 years or so
I can't say for sure, but the 270 guys sure bash 6.5 Bleedmore shooters. Maybe it's to get the heat off them.
Hey you call it what you want but it will do circles around your manbunSo that's a yes?
Probably so, but I prefer small cloverleaves to big circles anyway.Hey you call it what you want but it will do circles around your manbun

This hog was highly dissatisfied with it the other day.
My Abolt .270 has a bad habit.
Everything that gets in the crosshairs has a habit of dying shortly after…
The first buck in the pick was a complete pass through at 280 yds through both lungs. 130 gr Corelokts
Second buck I shot in the neck walking away at 230 yds.

No comment.
When they start killing lions with 6.5's then it will loose the title of manbun gun. The .270 has a storied history

First deer rifle I bought was a 270, still have it. Killed a crapload of animals with that gun.
Have both in the safe and both are very effective deer killers.I can't say for sure, but the 270 guys sure bash 6.5 Bleedmore shooters. Maybe it's to get the heat off them.
Carry on with the banter.....
When I start lion hunting I will care if the 6.5 will kill lions.
Shot a 270 for a couple years. Haven't missed it.

The 270 hype was created by Jack O'Connor writing hunting articles about what he had done with the 270 rifle sometime in the 1930's, this was when magazines and newspapers and radio were that generations internet and this put the Winchester great into stardom.
My personal opinion is, this necked down '06 is best deer rifle I've ever used. Just sold a great old Mauser 30'06 because I never used it.
I've shot everything from 243 to 300 win mag and killed deer with them all but always picked my Browning back up , IMO its the best bang for my money, the 270 remains top of my list.
Rifle calibers come and go but there are a few that will still be around when all of us are gone and the 270 is one of those.

Why? You looking for a date sweetheart?
Now, a fast twist .270 might be solidly in straight territory.
Lol.
I've heard it referred to that way on another forum, joking that someone caught "the gay" by using a .270.
Not sure how it started, but pretty sure it was just a handful of other guys giving each other a hard time.
No pun intended.

This.
I saw some ballistic charts the other day and it looked to me like people search really hard to match 270 ballistics across all fields.
Another advantage…. If a local gas station carries 4 boxes of ammo, one will be a 30-30, one will be a 30-06, one will be a .308 or .243 and the other will be a .270
