Thread: How much does a 270Win suck in 2019?

Now it has better options. Also being left handed limits me a bit. I very much like my Blaser and being able to shoot the exact same rifle in 243, 7-08 and another does make for a better platform to shoot from.
As per OP. I would like fast, and hard hitting. 270 could work, I just don’t have the experience with the 270.

It seems to me that modern powders like R26 and higher BC bullets like the 150 LRAB, 129 LRX and 145 ELDx and have given the .270 new legs. I would go for it.
