Default RE: Why not 180 grain .270??

Trying to make the 270 into a 30-06 is like pounding a square peg into a round hole. The .270's advantages are a high velocity bullet with a high BC and SD, its like a 3 legged stool, you can increase the any one of the 3 factors and you end up out of balance. IMHO the 270 is a very well balanced cartridge to start with. If you want the extra muzzle energy and confidence, get a 30-06, if you want a nice flat shooting rifle that will do just about anything a 30-06 will do, then get the .270.
