ehhh
the 308 put the nail in the coffin for the 30-06, its grouping was about half the size of the 06 when it first came out and competed.
doesnt the gibbs have a different shoulder. and I know the ackley does , lot different than the 06 case.
I never heard of a 270 being used for competetition, nor the 06, or not anymore anyways, not since 1952 when the 308 killed it.
Personally never had luck with the 270 as a tack driver.
