RE: popularity and the 270win
Yep the 270. seem to be very popular here in the west. 9 out of 10 elk guns i can remember counting on some trips where 270.s.
I wouldnt mind having a 270 mag(weatherby or whatever.. at times , but the plain old 270.win works good enough for me too. Gets the job done, with minimal costs & hype.
