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

It seems the 270 is caught up between bad performance from poor ammo 40+years ago (CAC forestry ammo did them no favours supposedly) and now everyone thinking that 350 yards is close enough to chuck rocks and you've got to have a calibre that can slay them miles away.
I always thought of the 270 as quite adequate (never owned one but that's changing) out to 350m'ish on deer. If you wanted to hit things and make them stay hit out past that you needed a 7mm rem mag or bigger. Not many 300cal magnums in my areas back in the day.
In saying that I did know of a couple of 338wm's back then and they did have the punch to reach out and touch things a long way away.
a couple of friends now have 300wsm's and really like them for that reason. If its big or far away it doesn't matter.
