    If projectile manufacturers properly supported .270 it could be very good. It sits between 6.5 and 7mm, so projectile manufactures should be able to make projectiles with a bc in between that of the 6.5 and 7mm’s. That is to say higher than the 6.5 but less than the 7mm, But no .270 is neglected and so has lesser bc projectiles than even the 6.5mm diameter below it. The “heavies” of a given diameter usually have a better bc than the heavies of the caliber below it. Eg a 6mm has higher bc options than .223/5.56. 6.5mm has higher bc than the 6mm. 7mm has a higher bc than 6.5mm. 7.62 heavies have better bc than 7mm heavies etc etc.
    270 is one of the only diameter that does not hold true and it’s because of projectile manufacturers not the cartridge itself
    stevodog and Tussock like this.
