"Actually the 270 Win does have the powder capacity. It's the same case necked down. As far as heavier bullets, to get the same sectional density as the 160 grain .277 bullet you have to shoot a 220 grain .308 bullet. Why one would ever need a 220 grain bullet out of a 30-06 I have no idea. "


I learned what sectional density is, but you don't need a 220 grain bullet to match the .270, you need a 200 grain bullet, not 220, and a 200 grain bullet isn't impractical, it's more like shooting deer with a .338, no different, except, of course, the size of the bullet, and the SD. But the effect would be like shooting a deer with a 338.
