Thread: .270 is the best caliber ever made.

I started my hunting career with a 6.5x55. It was good. Then I bought my first 270, followed shortly after by a better .270. Being young and single, I also bought a 7mm Rem mag, a 308, a 223, a 280acklyImp barrel when I wore out the 270, a 30/06 which I shortly rebarrlled too 6.5/284, a 6.5 Grendal and another 223.

When I decided to shout myself a one great rifle for the rest of my career, there was really no contest. accurate, Less recoil than the /284,Mag or 06. Kills well, as flat shooting or flatter than any of them over the distances I wish to shoot. Ammo available everywhere and common /easy to get. Most projectiles are designed specifically for it.
I can pick it up and walk out the door with no need for a rangefinder or app or special scope of any sort. It was and will be the ideal rifle for NZ hunting for some time.
