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

Before range finders no one had a clue how far 350m was. Guestimates, especially in variable light and terrain and with no frame of reference are all over the place.

270 and its twin the 25-06 are the two overbore rounds in the 06 line up. You get a hint more noise and with the 270 a hint more recoil than you really need for the terminal performance. They both work just fine. They are 280s inbred cousins.

270 never got a bad reputation. It had a ridiculously good reputation it never deserved. The South Island can be very conformist and people mock each other in a competitive fashion as a matter of routine. 270 was the caliber your mates would not take the piss out of. A backlash was inevitable, especially on the internet where being a competitive beta male with a big ego gets you nowhere.

270 is as good as it ever was, just not as good as the legend. 280 and better mates solves its shortcomings.
