270 is a very good round. It's fast, shoot's flat and has minimal recoil when compared to the 06 or any mag off the bench. Me, i love that 30 cal. round. Think about it take your 06 your 300 mag and it's the same bullet fired out of the 308. Minimal recoil accurate as hell and compared to mag ammo cheap to shoot. Federal 150 grain power shock for deer or black bear you need nothing more. price wise 400.00 and up. Just because it's fast dosen't' mean it's accurate.
