RE: .270 vs 30-06
Mohunter- you can buy 125gr .30-06 factory loads and reload 110 grain for the .30-06(for varmit)so thats really not an advantage for the 270. Remington also sells the 55gr accelerator for the .30-06 and not the .270.
If you only own one rifle, the .30-06 is the way to go. Its what I hunted with my first 15 years of hunting. Now that I have a .300WSM, the 270 is more appealing because it fills the gap between my .243 and .300WSM.
