    There are some better bullets in .270 so I guess it sucks less in 2019 than ever. I rummaged through all my old brass today and I have a surprising amount of .270 brass. I'm sure I only owned one? Her name was Christine. I wanted to go Tahr hunting and my short barreled .308 Spanish Mauser was sub optimal. @Carlsen Highway offered to help me defraud my then girlfriend and buy Christine without her knowing. Christine was a BSA Majestic in .270. It had been lightened and had the barrel cut down at some point. The but stock was wafer thin. I fired six rounds through it and then walked away horrified. In an act of charity, Carlsen Highway traded me in a straight swap, a 25-06 Ruger for Christine. Then Christine proceeded to try and kill him. Headspacing issues. The barrel was on sideways and she had no rifling to speak of.
