What you're saying Big Uncle makes sense. Makes me regret selling my .06 even more now. But it don't suck having to buy a new rifle either.I think if it came down to the .06 or .270 I'd go with the .270 only because I never owned a rifle chambered in it. Is there much of a recoil difference between the two? The older I'm getting the less recoil I'm liking.
