I read an artical thar suggested that the 270 was not a extremly accurate caliber as a rule. But even that artical didn't or couldn't verify their suggestion. I think its Total Bunk. Not because I am partial to the 270, but what would be the possibe reason? The parent case (30-06 does not suffer from inaccuracy nor does the 25-06 or 280. As BB says, the accuracy or lack of such comes from the rifle, not the caliber. Put a good bullet through a good barrel and your going to get accuracy.
