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

I sold my 7mm Rem Mag barrel for my R93 maybe 18 months ago and for the shooting I do it was the best move I've made in a long time .
The 7mm Mag rattled my teeth everytime I squeezed the trigger and to be honest it did my shooting technique and results no good .
Sure I still hit what I was aiming at but it took a lot of concentration and perseverance to shoot .
For quite a few months all I used and had for a centerfire was my .223 barrel and I feel back in love with shooting my Blaser .
I recently picked up a 6.5x55 barrel and it is my new favourite calibre and I cant see myself ever going back to a Magnum of any kind .
There is a time and place for the big bangers , but my shooting doesnt require them .
Personally the .270 would probably be my upper limit of recoil and blast ( I'm only going on what I've heard as I have never owned one ) , any cartridge that can reach to 400 yrds and deliver a projectile of between 120gn - 150gn without to much fecking around is good medicine in my opinion , I have a self imposed limit of 300m for my 6.5x55 and although I haven't tested it on Deer here in North Queensland the 4 pigs that have meet their maker ( furtherest shot 267 paces ) just died on the spot .
If your old enough to remember Graham Henry from Rod & Rifle magazine back in the day , well he was a .270 fan and he never had a bad thing to say about the .270 , the Deer haven't changed over the last 30 years only the marketing and profits of the big manufacturers .
