OMG another internet genius!

The military has never chambered a sniper rifle in 270. YOu got to be kidding me. Why do people feel the need to postcrap like this. The military sniper rifles shoot 7.62 NATO, otherwise known as the 308 win. The 1000 Yard rifle team shoots the M40 which is essentially a Remington Model 40X chambered in 300 win mag. Many of the sniper teams (ie seal teams) are going to the 50 bmg for the "strike the fear of god" effect. The only military cartridge shooting a 270 cal bullet, to my knowledge, is the new 6.8 SPC (thats 6.8mm Special Purpose Cartridge) which isgenerating mediocre reviews. It was designed to work on the M16 frame and bolt which is based on the 5.56 Nato otherwise known as the 223. So it is in essence a 223 necked up to 270.
